Tell Tom to Join in! He’s welcome!! And you could also tell him that I do believe he is working much too hard. No need to “plan” the subversion. Seems to happen quite regularly, all by itself. Could cite instances, all of which would be embarrassing to some folks... But over the last several years I have noticed a number of situations in which a “standard conference” was “taken over” by some (or a large group) of folks who said something like – This ain’t Open Space... and they just blew the doors off. Created a certain angst amongst the “sponsors” – but definitely led to a marvelous conversation.

Hi all, I got the query below from my friend Tom Atlee. It seemed like a great question for the list. Since Tom isn’t on it, I told him that I’d forward any responses. appreciatively, Peggy Begin forwarded message: From: Tom Atlee <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: November 10, 2014 at 12:51:54 PM PST Subject: Guerilla Open Space? To: Peggy Holman <[email protected]> Hi Peggy, Thinking about the NCDD conference, I got the idea for "guerilla Open Space" to be used in conferences where you want to open the space in the middle of a too-organized gathering. It would involve a central website with instructions on what to do and why. It would involve passing out cards with messages like "Is there something that you'd really like to talk about or do here that the agenda here is preventing you from talking about or doing?" "Would you like to be learning, contributing, and having more fun here?" with the web address on it. Tweets might also be used. Then, on the main website it would tell people about how to do a guerilla open space, referring them perhaps to meetup.com to arrange places to talk. Or something like that. Have you heard of such thing before? Do you have any thoughts/responses?
