<div dir="ltr">i've been in conversation with a number of folks, daniel. as i say, they came to me. when i saw that harold was also doing something about a calendar, i invited him to join us. i've since invited some others to this group when i realized they were missing. then i thought there might be others i hadn't thought of or didn't know about, so i posted to the list to see who else might want to post trainings to the calendar. and of course, here you are, the first person i forgot to add. <div><br></div><div>yes, there is a bit of authorization involved. imposed by google. it's a one-time hurdle, per person. it's not perfect, but it's very good. and very worth trying. if enough people agree to post their items there, then it will work. if nobody likes it and doesn't add anything, it'll go away. having managed an OS training calendar in many manual ways for 15 years, i really do hope it works. i hope people will try it out.</div><div><br></div><div>as for adding people to admin status, i do believe it's technically possible. the challenge is that anyone with full authorization might also have the authorization to turn off all the other administrators. it's one thing to have permission to deputize yourself and quite another to have the power to shut everyone else out. so the admin line needs to be drawn somewhere. for now it's drawn with me as an admin and everyone else as contributors. once we prove that it works, and see who is caring and contributing about it, we can all talk more about the admin permissions. first things first, i think.</div><div><br></div><div>m</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div> <br>--<br><br>Michael Herman<br>Michael Herman Associates<br><a href="http://MichaelHerman.com" target="_blank">http://MichaelHerman.com</a><br><a href="http://OpenSpaceWorld.org" target="_blank">http://OpenSpaceWorld.org</a><br><br></div></div></div></div>

Hi Michael, <br>
<br>
It's good you are talking with Harold about the OSI-US website work.
I missed that detail in your post.<br>
<br>
To be clear, folks can add to this calendar only after they ask you
for authorization. Right? Am I understanding this correctly? <br>
<br>
I wonder if the Google-calendar functionality allows multiple users
to also have Admin-authority, for example: to approve other folks to
make edits, to approve other users to also have Admin-authority,
etc. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

And the whole point of this particular calendar is that many
people can add to it AND it can be embedded in any website, osius,
osw, and any others and look exactly the same everywhere.

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
<br>
I like the idea of an Open Space calendar. Good idea!<br>
<br>
I wonder if the Open Space Institute USA web site (<a href="http://www.osius.org" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.osius.org" target="_blank">http://www.osius.org</a>) is the most
appropriate and perhaps the best place for this kind of
thing.<br>
<br>
As you point out, Harold Shinsato continues to work very,
very hard on the overall OSI-US site, all in service to the
Open Space community. <br>
<br>
Here we can see how his hard work helps OSI-US publicize
Open Space training, not just in the USA but around the
world, via the OSI-US web site, for anyone seeking OST
training worldwide:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.osius.org/trainings" target="_blank">http://www.osius.org/trainings</a><br>
<br>
I wonder if you might be willing to contact Harold, discuss
how you might be able to help him and others to compile the
list, add your excellent calendar-idea into the existing
OSI-US training-page, etc. <br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>when i rebuilt <a href="http://openspaceworld.org" target="_blank">openspaceworld.org</a>
earlier this year, i let go of the training calendar
mechanism that wasn't really working. mostly it was a
little too much work to manage, for me and everyone
else. then some folks showed up and said, "hey, we
still want/need something!" we talked about that group
organizing a little calendar team and producing
something that could be embedded in various websites.
</div>

<div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>in light of our osonos conversations, and
also really liking what harold has posted at
osi-us website about all the different places
(not just "trainings") where OS practitioner
learning takes place, i created a public
google calendar for posting trainings, but
also osonos events and stammisches(sp?) and
any other sort of learning events you might
want to share globally.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IF you'd know of such events and are
willing to help populate this new calendar,
please email me directly at <a></a><a href="mailto:michael@michaelherman.com" target="_blank">michael@michaelherman.com</a>.
i'll tell google that you're allowed to post
and tell you how to do it. you can post one
or more events you know about. when we get
some stuff posted, we'll make the calendar
public for reference, with open invitation to
others to add next events. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>many thanks! </div>
