Dear Toke and you other interActing beings, one more thought on the 1500 came to my mind on the background of visualisation/pictures/documents/etc. Dont have a book of proceedings. That is, let people post all their results in the raw in the form of a gallery (posters they produce and whatsoever) for everyone to walk around in and enjoy during the open space and perhaps allow for a special period to "visit the gallery" (alternative to the reading of the book). The only things recorded by the participants and given to everyone are 1. a detailed list of participants so people can stay in touch 2. any agreements on action (who is going to do what when how...) that might come out of a planning phase with an emphasis on having the names of every one party to the agreement loud and clear on the agreement, again so people can stay in touch.
Irmi Gruensteidel and I will try this at an 2.5 day open space of some 40 study body representatives in the middle of December. This is the same bunch that came together a year ago and since then has worked as an open space subsystem in their highschool which in turn spawned an open space for the entire school just after summerbreak this year. Aside from all the paper not used and other neat simplifications I have a hunch that it might be a characteristic of an InterActive Organization (or a conscious open space organization) to operate with near zero stuff written down.... This way of trying it crept into my thinking when I read a piece somewhere about a country/culture where notes/ recorded proceedings etc. are not the usual mode of operation with the observation that action was taken just the same (could this be France??? ) Greetings from freezing Berlin michael Michael M Pannwitz Draisweg 1 12209 Berlin, Germany FON +49 - 30-772 8000 FAX +49 - 30-773 92 464 www.michaelMpannwitz.de To subscribe to the oslist, send the following message (and nothing but the message): "SUBSCRIBE OSLIST" to lists...@listserv.boisestate.edu SUBJECT field should be left BLANK * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu, Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
