<div>Jeff & Jake,</div>
I’ve also done these mini open spaces. With greater and lesser success. When I have times much smaller than 2 hours I tend to think of using Lean Coffee as a form of (Open Space Light). Because of the amount of basic opening and closing overhead build into Open Space is not justified as a percentage of the overall time available. I want to get folks interacting. Not listing to someone set things up.
<div><br /></div>
<div>With Lean Coffee, If I have a larger group (20 and more), then breaking the group down into groups of less than 20 or so seems to be important for Lean Coffee. Also a Table or wall is helpful with Lean Coffee to post topics. </div>

<div dir="auto">Hi. One evening we only had two hours for 130 people. So the design was 30 minutes opening, two 30 minute session times, and a 30 minute closing. It was a lively loud church hall full of Occupy activists, raising the spirit and the roof.

<div dir="ltr">Greetings Jake! My experience is that virtually every space I've opened, the opening is @ 45 minutes - I "schedule" an hour for it.
<div><br /></div>
<div>Larger groups can take longer just because the Marketplace is more busy.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hey everyone,
<div><br /></div>
<div>I am helping to arrange an Open Space for about 30 participants. In Harrison's <i>User Guide</i> he indicates 1.5 hours for the opening. This seems a little long for a smaller group. What does everyone think?</div>
