Hi there -- how much time is needed for the space to be open? That is question I am hearing underlying Birgitt's and Larry's answers. I also feel you are giving a taste of OST in that time-frame! And if it is a taste you want -- Peggy's suggestion of lively 15 minutes discussions would work well.

In 1.5 hours I would not call it Open Space Technology. I agree with Birgit that there is not enough time to experience the possible synergy of OST. However, I have enabled many self-organizing discussions, with participants generating and volunteering to lead topics for which they had a passion, going into good discussions for 45 min or so and even making some reports and reflections at the end. Some of the flavour of OST is there, but I don't call it Open Space Technology, but a self-organizing discussion with some flavour of it.
