Wikipedia (as usual) has everything you wanted to know... go to -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holacracy
I can certainly imagine Open Space playing a role in Holacracies, and in fact the "governance" in a Open Space could certainly be described as "Holacratic" -- which is to say "ruling power" is totally distributed amongst the participants. But there is a real difference. Holacracy in Open Space is totally an emergent phenomenon. Nobody designed it, nobody implements it -- it just shows up all by itself. Holacracy in places like Zappos is a designed phenomenon. Doubtless it works pretty well, but it does seem to me that they may be working a little too hard, creating something that can and does happen all by itself. I think.
