Thanks, Don and others, for sharing about your 'shortie' OS 'demos'. I have done the same (1 hour and 15 minutes has been my shortest) and I agree - a real, true issue of meaning to the group, setting up the full room as if for a full, complete OS, and really giving people an experiential 'tease' of what it's like and what amazing topics it can bring into the conversation. Then supplying them with handouts and dates of nearby in-person learning workshops or other ways to learn more for themselves.
On my handouts I say when and why OS would and wouldn't be used, including the deliverables of a short OS as compared to a longer one - in that way I feel it is explaining how a longer OS would be more useful and why - quite a great advertisement for folks who want to explore it further...and yet also a physical experience of what it feels like to be invited to explore issues of passion and responsibility, diversity and discovery...
