[Hello, folks - now that I can receive and send OSLIST postings once
again I can catch up to some things that I have been saving for you
these last few months...- Lisa]

Dear colleagues --
This January we hosted an Open Space on Open Space - a several-day
conference in and about Open Space Technology. We shared learning,
inquiry, exploration, differences in style, discoveries about our
practices, tasty 'pot-luck' dinner, laughter and community.
A tradition for an OSonOS or a WOSonOS since 2001 has been to include
a 'Global Village Marketplace' (participants bring lovely items to
sell) and a 'Silent Auction' (more beautiful things we bring and buy
from one another - highest bidder wins the lovely item). Both of
these traditions raise money and awareness for the Access Queen
project (which is also helping some lovely individuals from various
countries to join us in Berlin ). Looking across those tables you
might have seen fresh Hawaiian honey, kilim-style pillows, a journal
with a bookmark in it from Taiwan, a photo of a fern frond unfurling,
and more. (I am excited to see what everyone brings to continue the
tradition this month at the Berlin WOSonOS!)
Looking about the room you might have also seen one participant after
another enjoying a massage kindly and skillfully provided by Alpha Lo,
another person taking a sip of a great local wine, someone enjoying
their tasty box lunch and someone else doing their stretches.
Topics included:
- When We Do Open Space - What Do I/You Do that is Different from What
You/I Do?
- Open Space and Systems Theory
- Technology Tools People Are Using
- Haiti (Ayiti) - Next Steps - What Can We Do?
- Producing an Open Space Video
- How Do We Create A Balance Between 'Whoever Comes Are The Right
People' and Acknowledging Those Who Are Not Present? (Seeing Cultural
Blind Spots)
- The Power of Pre-Work
- What OS Tools are We Missing?
- Massage (that was ongoing massages throughout the OSonOS given by
the fabulous Alpha Lo as mentioned above)
...and more.
We have posted the Book of Proceedings at http://openspaceonopenspace.net/OSonOS2010.pdf
for your reading enjoyment. A warm thanks to Kas Neteler, our
Newsroom Coordinator and Book of Proceedings producer - and to Joseph
Boyle for his help in posting the Book online.
Some of us will see some of you in person at the WOSonOS in Berlin
this May - and this particular OSonOS will happen again next year.
