John,<br>
<br>
Will you tell me more about your interest in pattern languages for
use in OST? Your question instantly made me think of the Group Works
deck that Chris recommended as well. It's a great set of patterns
for working with groups. A few weeks ago Tricia Chirumbole and I
actually used this card deck on the absolutely wonderful Open Space
Hotline she hosts on Tuesdays. We looked at what is needed on the
Open Space List. I actually picked it at random - and I think it's
quite a funny *joke* what the Universe revealed at 'random' back in
September.<br>
<br>
<b>Embrace Dissonance and Difference</b><br>
<br>
<i>Encourage your group to honour contradictory viewpoints, sitting
with the uncertainty and ambiguity this brings. Acknowledge all
perspectives as equally valid and explore them fully as needed,
especially when tensions are high and agreement seems far away.</i><br>
<br>
Even funnier - we wondered what would happen after this embracing
process were completed. This is what came up at random.<br>
<br>
<b>Playfulness</b><br>
<br>
<i>Invite light-hearted and high spirited interaction to exercise
mind, senses, imagination, and body, to engender creativity, and
deepen relationships. Playfulness may be evoked through structured
but fun ways to engage relevant topics, or restorative breaks that
allow laughter free reign, or may simply show up as humour.</i><br>
<br>
But I think I'm letting the topics on the OSList start to bleed
together. Please do tell us more about your thoughts of how a
pattern language could help with Open Space? I'm quite interested.
Pattern language has made a huge difference in the sphere of
software development, and it's how I learned about the work of
Christopher Alexander who first came up with this concept for
architecture.<br>
