Dear HO and all of us other techies,
to me, OST is the best way I have encountered in my 4 decades of working with groups, organisations and systems to expand the NOW in the "real-life" situation itself. That keeps intriguing me...especially because of what I see happen under conditions of self organisation unfolding unhampered: productive fun, unheard of ideas, instant solutions...you know the rest. So, every thing or process that infringes on focusing on the NOW, including all kinds of technology and even paper and pencil (look at the story John Engle told of OST in Haiti)reduces the effect of everything that can happen in the expanded NOW. If, and I have seen this happen regularly, there is passion and initiative leading to action, it will show up. I yet have to see the effect of "planned" documentation or "technology" on action after an Open Space event. When I leave my house in Berlin to enter a bus or a subway to go shopping or to meet friends or go to a restaurant or to a gathering or to a church service or to a party...I always, yes always, run into someone that I either know or am approached by with something like "do you remember...xyz...os event?" In the ensuing minutes I always hear stories about what happened after an event of which nothing is found in the documentation and which is lost in the mysterious jungle of selforganisation that we seem to somehow want to control...often these contacts occur years after the event.
Have fun at your next OST event!
Enjoy keeping it simple.
Greetings from Berlin

I am reminded of my good friends at Microsoft who brought together several 
hundred of their senior folks to redesign their data centers. Needless to say I 
left the electronic support to them, and they assured me that it would be 
“state-of-the-art. I am sure it was (SOTA) – but there was a small problem. 
Didn’t work. Back to paper and pencils! – but eventually I suggested that we 
might just try WORD templates with finger drives. Worked like a charm, as 
always.

I am definitely in favor of charting new courses and trying new stuff, indeed 
the first Open Space was documented on the predecessor to the Internet in 1985 
(DARPANET). And lord knows there is wonderful new stuff out there. So have fun, 
but don’t throw away the pencils and paper. Could be useful in emergency 
(smile).

Subject: Radical Real-Time Annual Unconference "Making the Most of 
Collaborative Worlds” - Saturd ay, June 5, 2010 from 2pm to 5:30pm

Hi:

Maybe I have missed it but, if I saw correctly, I could not find in this list 
any post concerning this event that took place last Saturday. I could not see 
it previously advertised here, nor commented afterwards, even if I saw there a 
lot of people that are in this list.

So I am resending to the list the initial advertisement, that was posted in the events section of the OST NING (http://openspaceworld.ning.com/) and some comments to it. (Maybe I should have done that before, but I was busy preparing the session I convened in that "Unconference", with a lot of last minute problems, like my local network, dying some minutes before the event...). Any how the unconference was very interesting with a lot of sessions offered and a lot of conferencing products tested. Anyone can still see the sessions offered, many summaries of the session and even some full recorded sessions. Here is the content of the event announcement at NING (sorry, the photos are not included):

Event Description

You are cordially invited to take part in the second annual Radical Real-Time 
Conference on Saturday, June 5, 2010.

Radical Inclusion is once again pleased to provide the platform for this 
self-organized virtual unconference. In our last year’s unconference 
participants felt that the burning issues of the 21st century could only be 
solved by using new collaborative methods, changing the ways we work together, 
and finding novel approaches to co-operation. Thus, this year’s conference, 
titled “Making the Most of Collaborative Worlds – Physical, Virtual and Blended 
Collaboration”, focuses on understanding the changes that are required at 
individual, team, and organizational levels to deal with these issues.

We are also announcing a new name for the conference, Radical Real-Time. It 
reflects our radically different approach to collaborative engagement. Thank 
you Christina Jordan for coming up with the name! We feel that “Real-Time 
Virtual Collaboration (RTVC)” taught us much during its first year and has 
deserved this new forward-looking name.

The purpose of the Radical Real-Time unconference is to provide a global forum 
where we all can come together, explore topics of common interest, learn, and 
create sustainable actions. Our unconference structure is loosely based on the 
principles of Open Space Technology, which has revolutionized large group 
gatherings by allowing the passion and responsibility of relevant stakeholders 
to drive the conference agenda. Radical Real-Time participants will be able to 
explore topics most important to them, and convene breakout sessions using a 
variety of virtual tools. Besides proposing a topic of interest, session 
conveners may also choose the collaboration platform of their choice. If you 
are a newbie to the use of virtual tools, the Radical Inclusion team will be on 
hand to provide technical support. Radical Real-Time conference is free of 
charge.

This was the feedback of Harrison Owen, the inventor of Open Sace Technology on our last 
year's event: "That was a great tour of a marvelous adventure! Cyberspace IS Open 
Space. And the Internet works exactly the same way as every Open Space — totally 
self-organizing. I think what you are doing is identifying various aspects of the 
Internet that make the whole experience more useful. Sort of like finding new rooms in 
the venue, Temple Bells, Talking Sticks, etc."
