I do have a short intro (< 15 minutes) which I can do. It's designed to be an intro to an open spaces conference (to be given to acquaint people with the process, before the open spaces sessions start) but will also work as a starting point for discussion for people who are interested in doing it. You can see a screencast here: http://us.pycon.org/2009/openspace/
