oh, by the gods of open space, Jim, this is one of the most complex issues...in fact, there really should be nothing at the actual center it representing the void (sometimes obliterated with flowers, candeles, scarfs and other schnickschnack)...and anything near the center should be as minimalistic as possible, of course...and conform to the international standards of visualisation (only one color of paper only one color of markers...all kinds of meanings are given to colors!!)...we at the berlin open space cooperative (registered under the German coop law) have been in the process of writing a detailed manual exactly touching this one point... One thing I recently learned from an insider is never, never to put my temple bells on the floor (I used to deposit them among the paper stacks near the center)since it dishonors the bells...well, one less thing to have there
oh my, I could go on and on!!!
Have a great day in the UK

I've noticed that many Open Space events include an extremely neat
arrangement of pens and paper in the centre of the opening circle; for
example with several stacks of paper and with pens in orderly rows, placed
uniformly around the centre point

I tend to place those resources more simply - a single stack of paper
(fanned to make it easy to grab a sheet) and - literally - a pile of pens
poured from a bucket

Does it matter? If so, why?

Best wishes
