Hi Frank, If you have not yet checked out the Open Space Institute (OSI)'s page, you can find it on the MetaNet at www.tmn.com/openspace/. Its got a thorough intruduction to the operation of an Open Space, both the props to open the space for spontaneous co-operating and the Spirit with which such an event invites participants to share in genuine dialogue with one another.
Also check back in a few weeks for updates on the fall schedule for OS training and events world-wide. There are some great happenings here in the US, and we would love to hear about others to publicize and get the word out. Thanks for chcking in and hope to see you back in this common space again.
