A few years ago I facilitated an OS for a local community that has been undergoing tremendous demographic change. There was much concern that a few people (the "same old crowd") would dominate the event to the detriment of the whole community. They did not. There was much interest and energy. I have not kept up with them, however, to know what has taken root directly as a result of the event.
