Dear Open Space enthusiasts near and far away,

folks or family visiting at birthdays, sitting around the christmas tree, neighbors walking by, people at the bus stop and in the bus, parents having an eye on their kids on the playground, folks on vacation on a wonderful island, a group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant, couples watching Television... many of them neither present nor absent in  a mode of perpetually holding on to a gadget being in touch with the entire world and everyone...

Gathering in Open Space in the flesh or virtual or in other variations, all have their right to exist. Engaging in all at the same time (one group in a real life setting and other individuals or groups in virtual contact engaged in virtual space and other manifestations) is less than half the enchilada. Especially a mode that os facilitators abhor trying their best to be totally present and invisible at the same time...

Prerequisites for the unfolding of the the force of selforganisation are a burning issue, a hypercomplex situation, high diversity in the group of participants, an urgent need of results since yesterday, challenges that nobody by themselve has an answer to. Those prerequisites are also necessary for an action orienting Open Space on Open Space taking 16 hours spread over 3 days with two nights of sleep. In getting projects on the road that grew in the 3 days, especially globally connected ones, need every tool available for managing the project, no question...

Regarding the venues for OSonOS events: In the years 2009 through 2017, regional "Learning Exchanges" were convened in the OSonOS mode in the years in which WOSonOS took place OUTSIDE of Europe. We met in France/Paris in 2009, then in Italy/Sardinia 2011, in Holland/Utrecht in 2013, Spain/San Sebastian in 2016 and Iceland in 2017. These events were grand for folks that would not travel by plane or had limited resources or ... In the face of climate change and other threats this kind of "regionalisation" might be the music of the future, ongoing wherever folks feel the time for an OSonOS has come in their neighborhood.
And the WOSonOS no longer in the flesh but global in whatever way.

Greetings from Berlin from an expert colleague that has never been in an online event or in a video conference or in the possesion of a cell phone (well, this year, my kids forced their 83 year old father to carry a cell phone to make calls and a few of them have my cell phone number, no one else) eagerly awaits his third WOSonOS in Berlin in the flesh in a relaxed mode...

Love and Peace and Health

PS: Just remembered that I did experience the hybrid variant at the 11th WOSonOS in Sweden/Denmark in 2003... I was stunned by the amount of effort and time invested in the online part and how busy folks were with being connected worldwide... it was then and there that the hybridphobia caught me...

WoW,

Wonderful, Anyone nearby or willing to come and join the circle in Nepal, Let's make it happen and sync with the WoSoNoS and connect our virtual seating along with the Virtual/Hybrid Open Space connecting all of us together.

An Open Space Enthusiast from Kathmandu, Nepal!

    I love the idea of going hybrid with WOSonOS.
    Having multiple gatherings around the world - including in-person
    WOSonOs
    for those that can make it would be a nice experiment and a great
    step
    ahead of the 8 billion conversations around the world about the world.
    Cheers

            Recent discussion here about the location of WOSONOS set
            me to thinking. Our annual gathering has moved around the
            world from Moscow to Aussieland, stopovers in Chile and
            Iceland, and more.... Marvelous. Then came the plague and
            for three years nothing nowhere. Now it seems like we are
            back in business -- Berlin next year... Back to normal, so
            to speak.

            In the meantime, and thanks to the plague, we have
            developed some deep experience with virtual Open Space,
            most recently with the Peace and High Performance
            "gathering" which always took place in New York, but this
            year happened in (I think ) 15 countries with 80+
            participants. Very different from the prior experiences at
            International House but powerful and rich.

            All of which brings me to the odd thought: Why go back to
            normal? Why not build on our plague generated experience
            and create a Hybrid WOSONOS with multiple sites and
            virtual connections. Simultaneously Gerardo and friends
            could host a gathering in Italy, Harold Shinsato could
            open some space in the USA, Christine might do the same
            from Paris...  And everybody around the world would have
            the choice -- going to a place of their choosing and or
            joining anywhere around the world.

            Could be massively enriching -- and possibly a dress
            rehearsal for my hoped for conversation with 8,000,000,000
            people around the world. Now that would really be some
            good open space.

            What do you say, Folks. It is all doable!
