Annamarie,<br>
<br>
Thank you for a lovely question! The opposite of lonely is what I
very often experience in Open Space. This theme also resonates to
much of what we talked about on the OS Hotline today.<br>
<br>
I must confess to have used an internet thesaurus to answer your
question. <a href="http://www.thesaurus.com/">http://www.thesaurus.com</a>.
In English at least, some opposites of lonely are (the emphasis in
bold is my own):<br>
<br>
* populated<br>
* <b>sociable</b><br>
* befriended <br>
* <b>close</b><br>
* frequented<br>
* inhabited <br>
* <b>loved</b><br>
* unlonely <br>
<br>
Warm Regards,<br>
Harold<br>

For work that I'm doing that has nothing to do with OS... because
there are a lot of people on this list who are multi-lingual I
hope that you will forgive me for asking an off topic question.
<br>
<br>
For those who have a mother tongue (father tongue?) that is not
English.... Does your language have a word that is the opposite
of "lonely"?

<div>Although I don't speak Welsh, one word I find very compelling
is Cynefin pronounced "kuh-NIV-en". I know the word because it's

And if it is "Open Space all the time" </span><br><span>then authorization dynamics as desribed in my essay are also there... </span><br><span>all the time.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Regarding the Open Space meeting format: If we begin at the beginning; </span><br><span>that is, at the start of arranging an actual Open Space event in an </span><br><span>organization, we immediately work to identify and locate someone "duly </span><br><span>authorized" by the organization, to do the things the Sponsor does, and </span><br><span>say the things the Sponsor says. Someone to occupy the Sponsor role. To </span><br><span>do that, the person occupying the role must have substantial authority </span><br><span>in the organization, usually of the formal variety.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Right? Put another way: if the Sponsor is lacking in authorization, can </span><br><span>they actually be effective? Larger question: Can the meeting still </span><br><span>actually work? What about the post-meeting follow-through?</span><br><span></span><br><span>So here we see how /authorization shows up a the very start of any </span><br><span>contemplated Open Space event inside an organization/.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>One last thing: last time I checked, "victims" are kind of rare in Open </span><br><span>Space. Something about the subtext of "the Law of 2 Feet...."</span><br><span></span><br><span>"...The Law of Two Feet concept was published in an article by Harrison </span><br><span>Owen <<a href="http://www.openspaceworld.com/brief_history.htm">http://www.openspaceworld.com/brief_history.htm</a>>, a member of an </span><br><span>organization advocating Open Spaces Technology, a model for organizing </span><br><span>meetings that's based around open participation. Here's how Owen </span><br><span>describes the rule:</span><br><span></span><br><span>"...Briefly stated, this law says that every individual has two feet, </span><br><span>and must be prepared to use them.

I've</span><br><span>studied their literature, and harvested some important learning as a</span><br><span>result. One of the things I have come to understand a little bit</span><br><span>better is the role of "authority dynamics" in self-organizing social</span><br><span>systems.</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>Link:</span><br><span><a href="http://www.akriceinstitute.org/">www.akriceinstitute.org</a> <<a href="http://www.akriceinstitute.org/">http://www.akriceinstitute.org</a>></span><br><span>?</span><br><span>Over the past several years I've been using Open Space with intent to </span><br><span>improve the results of my work in helping companies implement Agile</span><br><span>ideas in their organizations. We do an initial Open Space, then the</span><br><span>folks get about 3 months to play with Agile (we carefully use the word</span><br><span>"experimentation" with management,) then we do another Open Space</span><br><span>after that, to inspect what just happened across the enterprise. The</span><br><span>initial and subsequent Open Space events form a "safe" container or</span><br><span>field in which the members can /learn/... as they explore how to</span><br><span>/improve/ together by /experimenting/ with new practices, and see if</span><br><span>they actually work. I call the process Open Agile Adoption.</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>Link:</span><br><span><a href="http://openagileadoption.com/">OpenAgileAdoption.com</a></span><br><span>?</span><br><span>This seems to work pretty good. It seems to "take the air out of" most</span><br><span>of the fear, most of the anxiety and most of the worry that is</span><br><span>created. The key aspect is /consent/: absolutely no one is forced to</span><br><span>do anything they are unwilling to do. No one is /coerced/ to /comply/. </span><br><span>Everyone is instead respectfully /invited/ to help /write/ the story,</span><br><span>and be a /character/ in the story...of the contemplated process</span><br><span>change. Open Agile Adoption encourages a spirit of experimentation and</span><br><span>play.</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>The spirit of Open Space is the spirit of freedom. Isn't it? In the</span><br><span>OST community, we discuss and talk a lot about self-organization,</span><br><span>self-management and self-governance. The Agile community also talks</span><br><span>about these ideas a lot.</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>So I have some questions. What is really going on during</span><br><span>self-organization in a social system? What are the steps? What</span><br><span>information is being sent and received? From whom, and by whom? Is the</span><br><span>information about /authority/ important? How important? Can a social</span><br><span>system self organize without regard to who has the right to do what</span><br><span>work? /How do decisions that affect others get made in a</span><br><span>self-organizing system?/</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>Who decides about /who decides/? How important is the process of</span><br><span>/authorization/ in a self-organizing system? Is self-organization in</span><br><span>large part the process of dynamic authorization (and</span><br><span>/de-authorization/) in real time?</span><br><span>?</span><br><span>-------------- next part --------------</span><br><span>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...</span><br><span>URL: <<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/attachments/20140930/763f3d96/attachment-0001.htm">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/attachments/20140930/763f3d96/attachment-0001.htm</a>></span><br><span></span><br><span>------------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>Message: 4</span><br><span>Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 15:09:06 +0000</span><br><span>From: K?ri Gunnarsson via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>></span><br><span>To: Annamarie Pluhar <<a href="mailto:annamarie@pluharconsulting.com">annamarie@pluharconsulting.com</a>>, World wide</span><br><span> Open Space Technology email list <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>></span><br><span>Subject: Re: [OSList] Off topic - a bit</span><br><span>Message-ID:</span><br><span> <<a href="mailto:CAEjHsLknUm5uBQ_LDR7AR4OSBd1X-spM3KABAZhUrH__govjXg@mail.gmail.com">CAEjHsLknUm5uBQ_LDR7AR4OSBd1X-spM3KABAZhUrH__govjXg@mail.gmail.com</a>></span><br><span>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"</span><br><span></span><br><span>I say, this is open space, and here we have a topic on the wall.

Indeed,</span><br><span>there was only one round of live small group conversation. But the</span><br><span>combination of an online space that was opened on 9/22 using the "hackpad"</span><br><span>platform and a 90 minute call eight days later using MaestroConference's</span><br><span>newest "social webinar" beta really worked. Here are some highlights of the</span><br><span>process (you can also view notes and more here on hackpad</span><br><span><<a href="http://www.bit.ly/cfc093014">http://www.bit.ly/cfc093014</a>> ): </span><br><span></span><br><span>. We had 43 participants on the call for at least some of the 90</span><br><span>minutes, mostly from the US, but also including several from overseas.</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Six topics were initiated by participants</span><br><span></span><br><span>. In addition to the topic breakouts, there was a "meet and greet"</span><br><span>session for just hanging out and connecting. This also served as a place to</span><br><span>welcome late-comers to the call. As a result, the latter were easily</span><br><span>integrated and able to join the conversations of their choosing</span><br><span></span><br><span>. The topic conversations lasted a little more than 40 minutes</span><br><span></span><br><span>. We ended with a full group "popcorn-style" harvest and some</span><br><span>announcements</span><br><span></span><br><span>. A number of participants attended a debrief after the official end</span><br><span>of the call</span><br><span></span><br><span>. A few participants also stayed on the line "overtime" to continue</span><br><span>their topic conversations</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>MC's new "social webinar" worked beautifully, allowing participants to do</span><br><span>the following:</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Exercise the law of two feet (really!)</span><br><span></span><br><span>. See who was in their breakouts (including a thumbnail and contact</span><br><span>info, if provided)</span><br><span></span><br><span>. See who was talking or had their "hands" up</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Using "hackpad," we were able to do the following:</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Open the marketplace in advance, in order to both save time on the</span><br><span>call and allow for some online discussion to get going. Five out of the six</span><br><span>topics were initiated in advance.</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Provide an index of topics and the "room numbers" for each (so</span><br><span>that participants could move themselves to the right room)</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Take collaborative notes during breakouts, with a separate pad for</span><br><span>each one (note that "social webinar" now also provides shared document</span><br><span>functionality for each breakout room, if desired)</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Continue sharing notes and reflections once the call had ended</span><br><span>(this is still ongoing)</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Make detailed introductions before, during and after the call</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Compile a shared listing of resources</span><br><span></span><br><span>. Make announcements and requests</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>It was also possible for participants to engage fully via their phones only</span><br><span>(including moving between sessions) without using either hackpad or "social</span><br><span>webinar." This was important, as not everyone was able to be at a computer,</span><br><span>and some who were at one had trouble using the online tools.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Not everything was perfect, of course, and there were some lessons learned.</span><br><span>The biggest challenge was that, despite many emails and online explanations</span><br><span>in advance, some people were confused by the three ways to engage (phone,</span><br><span>hackpad and social webinar) or had trouble accessing one or more of these</span><br><span>elements. The vast majority, however, were either able to use these tools or</span><br><span>to have a valuable and satisfying conversation without them. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>I expect that there will be future iterations planned on behalf of the</span><br><span>Charter for Compassion, and I will promote them to this listserv now that I</span><br><span>feel comfortable handling larger groups!

The biggest challenge was that, despite many emails and online explanations in advance, some people were confused by the three ways to engage (phone, hackpad and social webinar) or had trouble accessing one or more of these elements.

They plan for their platform to be able to manage calls in this way with over a thousand people in the near future. The thought of being able to regularly engage people at that scale in this way is pretty exciting!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Peace,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ben<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#4f6228">Ben Roberts<u></u><u></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#4f6228">The Conversation Collaborative<u></u><u></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#4f6228"><a href="http://www.conversationcollaborative.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">www.

<br>
Last time I opened space (sep 17th, HerriUni) I got some little learning I´d like to share...<br>
<br>
</span> - In a one day OS meeting, it helps me a lot as facilitator *to have a<br>
<span class=""> good time (around 1 hour would do very well) to enjoy lunch<br>
</span>*(+coffee/nap/ride/...?)<br>
slowly.<br>
- *Best time for it, in my case would be, some time after the beginning<br>
of the second meeting. *For example, we had last day meetings scheduled<br>
<span class=""> for 11:15; 12:30 and 16:00. We had lscheduled unch time for the OS between<br>
14:00 and 16:00....And I had lunch around 12:50 and was finished around<br>
13:40. Quite good, because,...<br>
<br>
This can help well because,...<br>
<br>
</span> - My activity as facilitator is all the time coming before the group´s...<br>
- ... so my energy end up also sooner...<br>
- ... so my body asks for energy sooner<br>
- ...and we can be on the place well present to ring the bells before<br>
<span class=""> the main lunch time, facilitate the reports of the second round being typed<br>
on the laptops,...and joining some conversation too!<br>
</span> - enjoying a slow lunch helps always so much!<br>
<span class=""><br>
Small thing most of you already know well, I suppose.<br>
<br>
I share it because I feel that sometimes, in my overwhelming activity, I<br>
missed this point and couldn´t, because of it, be so present,...<br>
<br>
Any comments?<br>
<br>
Go Poland! Maybe we meet there next year!<br>
<br>
Enjoy life!<br>

<br>
The Radical Inclusion folks worked on developing an Open Space in
Second Life back in 2009, and used Open Space in Second Life as
part of a 150 person online event June 5, 2010. Holger Nauheimer,
Julianne Neumann, and others.<br>
<br>
I'm looking through my old emails to look for tracks and trails. I
didn't participate in their online unconference, only a small part
of which was open space, and their NING site seems to have been
decommissioned. The few meetings we held back in 2009, I do
remember that the prospect of Open Space in Second Life looked
like it would be largely consumed with training the participants
in the use of Second Life. At least my own enthusiasm fizzled.
There is a website for the exploratory meetings - <a href="http://osinsl.pbworks.com/">http://osinsl.pbworks.com</a> -
but you have to request access and it doesn't have that much
content.<br>
<br>
I think there's a lot of promise in what Ben Roberts is talking
about with Maestro Conference. They've been working on their
Social Webinar for years now and it's great it's finally working.<br>
<br>
I'm also thinking the MIT open source project mentioned a few
weeks ago on the OSList has great potential for a low cost (or
free if you can get the hosting and setup) online open space with
video. <a href="https://unhangout.media.mit.edu/how-to-unhangout/">https://unhangout.media.mit.edu/how-to-unhangout/</a>.<br>
<br>
A simple phone interface, or a familiar (like Google Hangout)
platform would be much better than Second Life. Maybe in the
future the training overhead won't be needed for a virtual world -
thus the great value of a phone interface like Maestro. Everyone
knows the phone.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Harold<br>
