Hi, Suzanne, Elaine, and the gentleman from MaestroConference -
congratulations on your exploration for your meeting processes, design
and technology! Wishing you great success, and know that it will be.
Annette - back to your particular question - though I know you are
also learning much from Suzanne's sharing of her own event.
For something specifically Open Space - OpenSpace-Online has a virtual
facilitator (a lovely character that welcomes and invites you,
explains the principles and law), beautiful simple graphics that give
the body-sense of sitting in a circle together, a virtual wall upon
which to post topics, the ability to bumblebee from group to group,
butterfly over to a 'cafe' and also have side butterfly conversations,
and the output of a full Book of Proceedings printed out at your own
desk. And you don't have to know anything technologically to do it -
there is great support during the real-time of the online conference
but most of it is completely intuitive to the participants.
Gabriela is an Open Space facilitator and she field-tested her design
over several years with many of us Open Space folks.
Though text-based - as we know, there is nothing exactly like a group
being together in person - it is amazingly close to the in-person
feeling, because of its thoughtful design, visuals and options for any
participant to self-organize into wherever they want to go, to write
('speak') or simply to wander amongst the conversations and witness.
I suggest you check it out.
And this gives me an opportunity to say, Annette - thank you for that
lovely visit outside in the sun over snacks and conversation...
And a warm hello, Gabriela from a gray morning in California...

Hi Annette,
Currently in one single OpenSpace-Online conference 10-125
participants can work completely selforganized in a solution-
oriented and high data-protected 4hour step-by-step open space
workshop process. If a larger group wants to invite more than 125
participants, we can easily arrange a set of X simultaneous
OpenSpace-Online conferences for hundrets or thousands of people -
e.g. with exact the same main-theme/-question. In all cases our
system produces an extensive just-in-time conference documentation
(digital) at the end of the conference for immediate selforganized
further work. If you wish to have more information, just write me
separately (gabriela.ender[@]OpenSpace-Online.com).
"OpenSpace-Online briefly": between 1999 and 2002 we developed the
OpenSpace-Online Real-Time Methodoloy (and are enhancing the IT
technology permanently - so far without investors). It has been used
in more than 70 countries till today. The OpenSpace-Online process
supports very much selforganization, because my vision was at that
time (and still is), to enable open space empowerment around the
globe without the must of having Open Space facilitators or
consultants in the room. Our real-time online methodology includes a
multi-dimensional virtual open space facilitation. Preparation and
follow-up need the same quality as we know from well done OST
processes. The realization of my vision and this technology was
possible based on the deep trust in selforganization - in particular
in the power of people and passion. In this way the OpenSpace-Online
Real-Time Methodology works since 9 years. Harrison was my
inspiration for that and is my role modell for true selforganization.
Best regards to London!
Gabriela
P.S. Thank you dear Holger, for mention OpenSpace-Online.

I haven't a clue. Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
