When I have 90 minutes, I call it Options Space, not Open Space Technology
because:

   - I still offer the principles and the law.
   - However I have observed that movement between sessions is a lot less.
   - I rarely see people sitting outside of sessions.
   - It's like they have chosen an option and they stick with it.
   - I feel like more time is needed for the OST spirit and dynamics to
   kick-in and unfold.
   - So I have started calling the 90 minutes Options Space instead.

What's your experience?
