Respect to both of you.
HO: "...that wonder becomes self evident." Lovely.
Kas: "Open Space Technology: Perspectives from the first 25 years."
Also lovely.
I'd love to see this space grow, and am willing to be the collector of
stories and coordinator/facilitator.

Hi OST Community,
I am just back from WOS on OS in Berlin. Still a little groggy, but
wanting to chime in.
I am new to OST -- less than a year's worth of my own perspectives
on the methodology. In the spirit of "yes/and" I would like to
offer that YES I may be new, AND "the project" should be friendly to
all levels of experience within the OST Community.
"The project" -- I hestiate to call it a book at this point-- maybe
a "road map" or an "outline" or a "catalog"... or not catagorizing
it for a while ;-) One of the themes that continually comes up for
me is the rush to creating meaning. In my mind, I like the idea of
putting (working title): "Open Space Technology: Perspectives from
the first 25 Years" into the community and seeing what stories
emerge. Then ... only then, clustering those ideas/stories and then
discovering the emergent themes and presenting those stories under
those themes. Then as a community, or at least, those interested in
working on the project, coming together to organize and explore the
next steps... I would be interested in being a part of the self-
organizing team that gently facilitates this process.
I look forward to hearing feedback and seeing where this
conversation goes.
All the best --> Kas Neteler

Doc -- this is kind of fun. Given my use of that awful word "fact" the
presumption seems to be that feelings and emotions are somehow
excluded. In
my world feelings and emotions are the facts of life. And what I was
driving
at is the suggestion that The Book (electronic or whatever) should
not be
saying how wonderful Open Space might be -- but rather create the
environment in which that wonder becomes self evident. Which is what
all
good stories and storytellers do, I think.
