Some folks do not consider open space to be a 'technology', hence the
reference to 'dumb'...
I am clueless: What is the origin story of the term "Open Space Technology?"
Does Japanese journalism play a role in this story? I heard maybe ...

I must have missed the memo where it was decided that 'Technology' was
dumb : )
I personally use 'social technology', but the language we use to
define objects in the social/cultural/information world is very
nebulous... I guess because our conceptualisation is unclear.
Interesting article
Cheers

Greetings All,
We say "Open Space Technology".
So: Is Open Space "culture technology?" If so, maybe that "T" for
technology is not so misplaced, after all...
...maybe not so much of a joke, after all ?
Culture Tech
If we look at the so-called "liberating structures" such as World
Cafe, Fishbowl, OST, we can see these are generally grouped
together under this "liberating structures" banner.
Many of them are designs for /gatherings/ (aka "meetings" in some
locales...)
I think the "liberating structures" such as World Cafe, Fishbowl,
OST are actually, and in fact: "culture technology."
To this culture-tech list, we may safely add: Scrum. Sociocracy.
Core Protocols.
And culture technology wants to be /free/.
And so I've written a little essay on that, you can see it here:
Culture Technology Wants To Be Free

So maybe the T in OST is not so dumb, after all?

PS. The Core Protocols folks, Michele & Jim McCarthy, call their
stuff "software for your head." My current belief is that all
culture-technologies (like OST for example?) are in fact 'software
for your head."
PSS. (Sidebar question: My understanding is that a Japanese
journalist coined this "OST" term and it stuck. What is the origin
story of this term? Where can it be found on the web?)
