QigoChat is fabulous, and I highly recommend it - Lucas is a wonderful ally and very willing to help with any necessary details.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">AND it IS possible to host OpenSpace in Zoom. Quite easily in fact. All you have to do is make everyone a co-host. Then when the breakout rooms have been set up according to what emerges in the Marketplace, you create an additional room as an interim space and put everyone in it. From there, everyone (all co-hosts) can see the other breakout rooms and freely move between them. That interim room can also serve as a place to rest, should anyone want to just be alone and reflect.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On another subject, I hope everyone knows that we (Beehive Productions and the amazing Chris Corrigan) are hosting Harrison in an open, interactive conversation this Wednesday about the origins of and inspiration for his work with Open Space.

The Liberating Structures community has a group working on how to adapt the LS collaboration patterns, <span style="font-family:sans-serif" class="">including OST,</span> to distributed working platforms. They use zoom. They've identified the lacks of zoom (ex: you cannot freely move from one breakout room to another without host intervention, etc) and may be in conversation with <a href="http://zoom.us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">zoom.us</a> about that.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Qiqochat is a platform that incorporates zoom and adds features alongside it to create something more suitable to OST. I attended an online OST there a few years ago (in the early stages of experimenting with this) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Michael Herman facilitated, iirc, and could tell you more, maybe even how it has evolved. At the beginning it was hard to get non-techies set up for Qiqochat, so I dropped it. But there have been improvements and the owner, Lucas Cioffe is very pro-active in constantly improving it so I suspect it has evolved a lot since then. It is quite nice to use once you're set up. And Lucas does good user support.</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">I have no first-hand recommendation at present, but thought this history might help.</div><div dir="auto" class="">Deb</div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto" class="">______<br class=""><br class="">Deborah Hartmann Preuss, CPCC<br class=""><br class="">coaching change leaders for effectiveness + joy <br class="">at abiggergame.today<br class="">and <a href="http://tenwomenstrong.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">tenwomenstrong.net</a><br class=""><br class=""><a href="mailto:deb@deborahpreuss.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">deb@deborahpreuss.com</a> | +49-151/50660940 | @deborahh<br class="">schedule a call: <a href="http://abiggergame.today/calendar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">http://abiggergame.today/calendar</a><br class=""><br class="">"It's amazing what a little phone coaching can accomplish."<br class=""> </div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"></div></div></div>
