<br>
Hi All, thanks for the comments. Here are some replies for Harrison and<br>
Birgitt:<br>
<br>
Hello, Harrison, you asked what unique capabilities online tools have.<br>
<br>
Here are some ideas about what current technology can do to help OS...<br>
<br>
- It's possible for an online OS participant to see all participants in<br>
each breakout space (and the notes being taken in each space) so that they<br>
can make a more informed decision about whether to exercise the Law of Two<br>
Feet (a.k.a. Law of One Click).<br>
- It's possible for someone to bring in additional resources, facts, etc<br>
into a session while it is happening (the downside is that they are also<br>
more distracted than they would be in-person).<br>
- Connecting by video chat has some advantages (cost, environmental<br>
impact, accessibility, etc). There are also disadvantages like<br>
distraction?wait a minute I need to send out a tweet on Twitter; ok I'm<br>
back?and the possibility of less personal connection to other participants.<br>
<br>
Here are some ideas about what future technology can do to help OS...<br>
<br>
- Multilingual conversations will become possible. For example, one<br>
participant is speaking in Chinese and it's instantly translated so that<br>
other participants can listen in their native language.<br>
- You'll be able to hold an online OS with "robots". I know this sounds<br>
crazy, but it's coming. For example, in addition to creating an<br>
invitation, you can also "create" one or more virtual participants,<br>
selecting their personality type, expertise, etc. They'd be listening and<br>
processing all that is said and they would "speak" when it's their turn as<br>
if you had a person with that personality and expertise level. Think of a<br>
robot playing the Devil's Advocate for a corporation; it could very well<br>
save the organization in some circumstances. As long as all human<br>
participants know that there's a robot participating, I see no harm in<br>
this. It's like having a pet that speaks, and that has it's pros and cons<br>
:) Then again, some day, we might be the robots' pets!<br>
- Virtual reality will enable us to participate in a much more liberated<br>
way. "Virtual reality" can already create an immersive experience; you can<br>
strap on a pair of goggles and it looks like you're in a room with someone<br>
else or a group of people or riding a roller coaster (or a wave!). When<br>
you turn your head to the left, the video feed on your screen adjusts so<br>
that you get the sensation that you are actually looking to the left. The<br>
scenery is interactive in 360 degrees. How is this useful? Well, there's<br>
a discussion on OSList right now about people who lack the ability to pick<br>
up the pens and paper in the center of the circle. When people can assume<br>
a new virtual "body" there will be no limit to what they can do in the<br>
space. Someone who has one skin color can wear a different skin color if<br>
they like. Someone can speak as an endangered species. Sounds crazy, I<br>
know! There are many possibilities, and many potential problems as you can<br>
imagine.<br>
- I'm sure others can add to this list...<br>
<br>
Hello, Birgitt, you asked what I'd like to create. I'd like to create<br>
something that people will find useful. I searched the OSList archives and<br>
found a fascinating thread from 2012 started by Suzanne Daigle. To get<br>
there, visit the August 2012 Archive<br>
<<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html</a>><br>
and<br>
scroll down to "Conversation today with Brian Burt of MaestroConference".<br>
There are so many great ideas from so many talented facilitators on that<br>
thread. I found one of Lisa Heft's responses<br>
<<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html</a>><br>
and one of Michael Herman's responses<br>
<<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html</a>><br>
to<br>
be especially helpful.<br>
<br>
That conversation lists all the elements that are necessary to be present<br>
to classify an online event as OS. The part that's missing from that<br>
conversation is what the user experience would feel like. Four years have<br>
passed since that 2012 thread and many on this list have had plenty of<br>
experiences with online tools that lend themselves to being used for Online<br>
OS (Tuesday OS hotline, Open Space Online, Zoom, Sococo, MaestroConference,<br>
QiqoChat, etc). Each of these tools has strengths and weaknesses.<br>
<br>
*Rather than taking a tool-centered approach (how close could we get to OS<br>
using what's already available), I'd like to take a moment to invite anyone<br>
to share what a great user experience would feel like, gather these ideas<br>
on OSList, and then any of these tool makers could build that into their<br>
platforms.*<br>
<br>
Knowing what we now know of online user attention spans, it's got to be<br>
simple.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
1. Participant arrives on a page and sees _____________.<br>
2. Next the participant _______________.<br>

<br>
Thank you Lucas.<br>
And please feel free to ignore my next queries/thoughts if they don't spark<br>
any energy in you. You have given a thorough answer as it is. Here are the<br>
questions that come to me in reading what you have written.<br>
<br>
-what is your definition of useful and to whom? I appreciate that this is<br>
at the root of your creative surge.<br>
-in a world in which artificial intelligence and its use of big data is<br>
already mastering predictability, and since it is possible for artificial<br>
intelligence to predict what you might answer and how you might answer,<br>
where is the space for human exchange that you want to touch and bring<br>
usefulness to?<br>
-albeit a current trend (and apparent addiction) is for something that is<br>
quick and will capture attention or stands the risk of losing attention,<br>
might not the most useful offering to provide to be something that takes<br>
time, that is not quick, that provides space for people who are reflective,<br>
thoughtful to be in genuine conversations?<br>
-and a question we ask in our Working With OST learning modules: after<br>
examining all of the elements of an OST meeting, what, if stripped away<br>
from the list of elements, for you, would no longer qualify as an OST<br>
meeting?<br>
<br>
Warmly,<br>
Birgitt<br>

Hi All, thanks for the comments. Here are some replies for Harrison and Birgitt:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello, Harrison, you asked what unique capabilities online tools have. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Here are some ideas about what current technology can do to help OS...<br>
<br>
* It's possible for an online OS participant to see all participants in each breakout space (and the notes being taken in each space) so that they can make a more informed decision about whether to exercise the Law of Two Feet (a.k.a. Law of One Click).<br>
* It's possible for someone to bring in additional resources, facts, etc into a session while it is happening (the downside is that they are also more distracted than they would be in-person).<br>
* Connecting by video chat has some advantages (cost, environmental impact, accessibility, etc). There are also disadvantages like distraction?wait a minute I need to send out a tweet on Twitter; ok I'm back?and the possibility of less personal connection
to other participants.<br>
<br>
Here are some ideas about what future technology can do to help OS...<br>
<br>
* Multilingual conversations will become possible. For example, one participant is speaking in Chinese and it's instantly translated so that other participants can listen in their native language.<br>
* You'll be able to hold an online OS with "robots". I know this sounds crazy, but it's coming. For example, in addition to creating an invitation, you can also "create" one or more virtual participants, selecting their personality type, expertise,
etc. They'd be listening and processing all that is said and they would "speak" when it's their turn as if you had a person with that personality and expertise level. Think of a robot playing the Devil's Advocate for a corporation; it could very well save
the organization in some circumstances. As long as all human participants know that there's a robot participating, I see no harm in this. It's like having a pet that speaks, and that has it's pros and cons :) Then again, some day, we might be the robots'
pets!<br>
* Virtual reality will enable us to participate in a much more liberated way. "Virtual reality" can already create an immersive experience; you can strap on a pair of goggles and it looks like you're in a room with someone else or a group of people or
riding a roller coaster (or a wave!). When you turn your head to the left, the video feed on your screen adjusts so that you get the sensation that you are actually looking to the left. The scenery is interactive in 360 degrees. How is this useful? Well,
there's a discussion on OSList right now about people who lack the ability to pick up the pens and paper in the center of the circle. When people can assume a new virtual "body" there will be no limit to what they can do in the space. Someone who has one
skin color can wear a different skin color if they like. Someone can speak as an endangered species. Sounds crazy, I know! There are many possibilities, and many potential problems as you can imagine.<br>
* I'm sure others can add to this list...<br>
<br>
Hello, Birgitt, you asked what I'd like to create. I'd like to create something that people will find useful. I searched the OSList archives and found a fascinating thread from 2012 started by Suzanne Daigle. To get there, visit the August 2012 Archive <<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html</a>>
and scroll down to "Conversation today with Brian Burt of MaestroConference". There are so many great ideas from so many talented facilitators on that thread. I found one of Lisa Heft's responses <<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html</a>>
and one of Michael Herman's responses <<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html">http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html</a>> to be especially helpful.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
That conversation lists all the elements that are necessary to be present to classify an online event as OS. The part that's missing from that conversation is what the user experience would feel like. Four years have passed since that 2012 thread and many
on this list have had plenty of experiences with online tools that lend themselves to being used for Online OS (Tuesday OS hotline, Open Space Online, Zoom, Sococo, MaestroConference, QiqoChat, etc). Each of these tools has strengths and weaknesses.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Rather than taking a tool-centered approach (how close could we get to OS using what's already available), I'd like to take a moment to invite anyone to share what a great user experience would feel like, gather these ideas on OSList, and then any of these
tool makers could build that into their platforms.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Knowing what we now know of online user attention spans, it's got to be simple.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
1. Participant arrives on a page and sees _____________.<br>
<br>
2. Next the participant _______________.<br>

Lucas ? your comments as always are provocative. But maybe a bit too literal? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My thought is ? replicating OS (as experienced by human beings in a physical room) is a worthwhile undertaking. The deeper task, I would think, is to open some new space that is available only online. Just as the ?normal? (space/time) OST tends to blow people
away ? what is the cyber-equivalent? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I don?t have a clue of an answer. But I do remember ?way back when? ? sitting at my kitchen table with a TI Silent 700 plugged into a phone through acoustical couplings. Suddenly ?it? came alive and electronic beings from all over the planet for the most part
(actually I am not really sure where they came from) populated my table, life, reality?. Space hadn?t opened. Space/time was transformed.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
What can you do for me baby? I guess that is the question.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi All,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I would be super-excited to hear how folks would design the simplest online Open Space experience using video chat.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I posted my thoughts below, but I put them further down so that you might have a moment to think about what online OS experience would work best for you, rather than letting my thoughts influence yours.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
are...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Here are my rough thoughts:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
1. When the event begins you open up a webpage. You can see the following:<br>
<br>
* where the opening circle is<br>
* how many virtual breakout spaces there are<br>
* who is in each virtual space right now<br>
* what is being discussed now and in the future (a bulletin board / marketplace / idea wall)<br>
<br>
2. Next you choose to enter a space by turning on your video chat.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: The following features seem helpful but not necessary:<br>
<br>
3. When you arrive in a space, you see a shared notes area available to all participants.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
4. There is a way to raise your hand to indicate that you'd like to speak.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
5. There is a way to share a quick message such as ("I have to step away for a moment").<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for any advice. I look forward to hearing what you have in mind!<br>

Thanks Harrison!<br>
<br>
You put your common sense.<br>
<br>
Who dare to be filled with courage and go out to make a better world?<br>
<br>
I also wonder<br>
<br>
What is more important for the community that we are, a master and a final<br>
diploma or lead to action with simplicity and grandeur of being almost not<br>
visible?<br>
<br>
Harrison, I met you at Wosonos Chile in 2011, I learned that "less is more<br>
...". And if matters a lot, the internal work of the facilitator.<br>
<br>
.... I invite friends and post results Actuate, doubts, tears and laughter.<br>
Life!<br>
<br>
Blessings to all<br>
