I'm curious, based on this and some other recent comments -- do y'all distinguish between "Open Space" as the philosophy and feeling of "whoever comes", "whatever happens", etc.; and "Open Space Technology" as a particular meeting structure that has helped to create and hold Open Spaces? In another thread Harrison and others talked about a kind of ultimate Open Space experience being one without needing even the simple structures of announced sessions on the bulletin board, scheduled closing sessions, etc. More succinctly, is OST a particular style of convening meetings, while OS is a particular quality of presence and connection that OST helps to achieve?
