Dear Lisa,
just to keep the record straight, the 2108 people os was co-facilitated
by Harrison Owen and me in Würzburg/Germany in 2003.
This open space was convened on the last day of a 4 day international
conference with a total of 5000 participants on systems constellations.
The Theme was
"Passion and Responsibility
In the Heart of Conflict - Constellations with Families, Organizations,
Ethnic Groups, Nations".
New was at that time the application of constellations for ethnic groups
and nations in conflict.
The Theme for the last day in open space was
"NOW, my passion, my responsibility - beyond the conference"
232 issues were posted and delt with in 80 breakout spaces at three
beginning times... to this day we have no clue how people managed to
work in the face of 232 issues, it appeared to have been a simple task
for them.
This event, together with 792 other events are listed in
http://www.openspaceworldscape.org/
a data base and a visualisation of locations on a google map and
extensive details to each event.
You and everyone having facilitated events is invited to record those
events in this data base... except for the 2108 event mentioned above
there is no other of the really big events listed.
By the way, Erich Kolenaty put together a photoshow, its right here
http://www.transformation.at/documents/OS_Wuerzburg_minimized.pdf
His title is "Welcome to the fotoshow of the world‘s hugest Open Space".
Of course, we know better, there are a whole bunch of events with 2, 3
and more thousands of participants.
Not recorded.
Have a great weekend,
greetings from Berlin, still feeling the Belgrade WOSonOS in my old
bones and looking for the next one in September of 2015 in Poland.

Hi, Raffi, hi, friends, and a deep bow to you, Harold for your amazing
work behind the scenes to help the mechanics of this list support
incredible communication and sharing.
Mark Matlock and I did several face-to-face OS events in Los Angeles,
Cincinnati and Atlanta, USA - the largest of which was, if I recall
correctly, 3500.
I have done quite a number of them at the 2400+ level. Peggy - I forget
what your largest may have been? Michael P - was it 2108? Christine
Whitney Sanchez - your largest? I name these folks because I am trying
to recall who are my OSLIST colleagues who have done this sort of
large-group OS…
One thing I learned quite a bit from was the collective work done by
Christine Whitney Sanchez, Gabriel Shirley and other amazing folks at
the 51st Girl Scout Congress - how to weave dialogue (of various forms -
different processes with different groups / amounts of people for
different specific reasons) into an 11,000 person event. I was *so*
honored to be on that team, doing among other things an Open Space
meeting of I think it may have been 780 people. Verbal dialogue,
internal dialogue… Open Space, World Cafe, story looms...lovely stuff.
Such rich learning, in the pre-work, in the conference, and upon reflection…
I don’t know how many people Kai Degner (then the mayor of Harrisonburg
- yes - Harrison…burg... Virginia… ) had participating in his city-wide
OS forums…

Hi OSList,
Raffi's email below triggered complaints from Google about Raffi's
"Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com <http://yahoo.com>" that
unsubscribed at least 130 gmail and googlemail addresses from the
OSList. I've never seen a problem like this in all the years I've been
managing the OSList. Hopefully it is resolved. I think I've added you
all back. But it seems Raffi's email didn't make it through to the non
google people as well.
Raffi asked me to resend it. Hopefully this will go through.
Cheers,
Harold
