We're doing our survey interviews on this project, and it came up that in many communities, it is hard to get residents to come to public events. Rather they suggest we have cyber-space formats online access to the OS for asynchronous participation.
Does any one have any experiences with this kind of thing? Would be very interesting to include that in our survey. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brett Barndt <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 7:39 AM Subject: Open space applied to sustainability projects? To: OSLIST <[email protected]> I am working on a survey for NYC Accelerator for Cleantech and Renewable Energy. We'd like to speak to anyone who has applied OST to sustainability projects in communities, municipalities, regions. Our focus is to understand how OST can improve engagement and design process for sustainability development or technology projects as well as mitigate political and delay risks for financiers of these projects. Our finds have the potential to open up more liquidity for investment in locally sponsored revenue or carbon credit generating sustainability projects by better managing costs and delay or political risks of doing small locally based deals. We're interviewing players at every step of the value chain from design through project developers in solar, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, micro-grid, permaculture, waste/discards, water, brown fields re-development, de-paving, community agriculture to financing, construction, and management. Please let me know if you have any knowledge of OST applied to projects like these. We really look forward to talking to you about it. We'll share our findings results with our survey participants.
