I'm just noticing, throughout this whole conversation precipitated by
the Ning invitation, how my body responds to the various posts.
With some I notice I tighten up and get a bit tense. With others I
notice myself opening and softening.
Harold, thanks for your latest post that has had the latter effect on
me.
I notice I especially appreciate it when, in addition to having that
opening and softening effect on me it also revisions past posts in a
way that has me open and soften to info that in previous incarnations
led me to tense up.
I appreciate this
I'm curious to see what will come of all this - I would love one easy
place to go to that was readily open to all

Michael,
Thanks so much for the background and for all the work you've done
in the past in support of OST. The openspaceworld.org site was
helpful when I was first getting into OST trying to figure out how
to learn it, how to use it, and more.
I just did a google search in the U.S. for "Open Space", and
openspaceworld.org is #1. I did a search for "Open Space
Technology" and again, openspaceworld.org is #1. Maybe this changes
daily!
I'm excited to hear that you've been open to the ideas to start
shifting the site towards more open standards, and ways that things
can be improved. It's easy to find places things could be better -
and I could rattle of bunches very easily - but it's critical to
also appreciate what we have and how far it's taken us.
I hope that Kaliya's communication style can be listened to with
"Giraffe Ears" (an idea from Non-Violent Communication), and that
everyone's mistakes can be let go as we move forward in this. I'm
very excited about all the possibilities that can unfold with this
heightened engagement. This Open Space philosophy seems to be
getting more relevant to me each day, and not just in the OSList
and other places we inhabit.
Harold
P.S. I need to thank Kaliya here too. My attraction to Open Space
was through the idea of BarCamp - and Kaliya helped show me that
Open Space was the way to go - and she introduced me to the
wonderful Lisa Heft who gave me a mini sesssion on OST at the
Internet Identity Workshop in Mountain View, CA that Kaliya was
facilitating - which then led me to eventually take one of Lisa's
most excellent trainings in Open Space facilitation. And I wouldn't
have been at the IIW if Kaliya hadn't been at JavaOne facilitating
an open space there.
P.P.S. I'm not sure how helpful this is, but the OpenSocial
internet standard is something that's helping all these social
networking sites be interoperable - and NING supports OpenSocial. I
know NING isn't perfect, but it's better than some.
