I love the idea of the guerrilla open space…
The way Tom wrote his experience already fired me up!
Perhaps if the risks are not as high - and the chance to generate or exacerbate
conflict is low - this is a good thing to do…
Cheers,

True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen.
Do not pursue happiness - practice it.
Sing, even if you do not sound good.
Smile, even when things go wrong.
Create happiness, and happy you will be.

Reminds me about the conference where the streaming twitter feed was projected
behind the keynote speaker, showing real-time critiques of his speech that he
could not see. Imagine a tweeted call to abandon the keynote and gather down
the hall. : ) I know Tom's idea is more subtle and diplomatic.
Tony Judge had a similar idea to Tom's posted in his majestic website Laetus in
Praesens. I don't know of a case study tho.
I guess the hotel bar where Harrison hangs out is where a lot of disgruntled
participants tend to show up. Is that where the open space idea really emerged?

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
