If they wish to, folks can also minimize or cut in half whatever they are about... but why is that our business? Who are we to say even "if they wish to". Why do we even bother getting involved on what participants want to, should or whatever do?

If we manage to introduce folks to our approach in a manner that allows them to mess with whatever they have in their hearts and minds and elsewhere, including getting out of their way gracefully then we have done a bit of the groundwork for the force of selforganisation to do its stuff... and earned a nap.

PS: This is the kind of stuff that will fire up our WOSonOS in Taiwan in October or our European Open Space Learning Exchange (regional OSonOS) in Iceland in November (there, average temperature during the day at that time of year is 6C, so bring a sweater).

Yes! Each person is responsible for maximizing their own learning and overall experience during Open Space (thus improving the learning and overall experience for all of the participants).

Jean -
I am the facilitator for tomorrow's OSACON.
The Open Space experience is best when each person has their own ticket and connects individually. Doing so makes it easier for each person to see and be seen in the video and to follow the Law of Two Feet independently.
Sincerely,

Mark Sheffield

Hi Jean,
I am one of the organizers of the OSACON (Opening Space for Agility) conference event happening this coming Wednesday- tomorrow. Yes, you can buy multiple tickets, and when you do the system will ask for the details (name email etc) of each person for each ticket you buy. I just tested it to make sure it works for you. Send me an email if you have any questions OK?
OSACON:

Those of you unfamiliar with the event can learn more and consider attending here:www.OSACON.com <http://www.osacon.com/>

It's an **online** Open Space aimed at applying Open Space (or better) at improving current results with Agile.

(a rather large and growing opportunity for improvement.)

The event also provides a primary way for people to find and meet each other.

The theme of tomorrow's event is "Opening space for emerging greatness"

Here's one way to translate this theme:

  * *Opening Space*: “affording and accommodating open discussion and
    open dialogue.”
  * *Emerging*: “to come into view” or “become apparent”
  * *Greatness*: “the abundance of goodness” (hat tip to Jim McCarthy
    for this definition.)

So we might macro-expand this Theme, to say:
*“…Affording and accommodating open discussion and open dialogue, for the abundance of goodness to come into view, or become apparent”* What does it take to get to legitimately GREAT results in an Agile context? What are the markers and characteristics?
How do you know when the Agile is legitimately great?

The wider question of course is “how do we to get there?”.

That’s the subject of this event.

You are invited! I hope to see you there!


Wishing a nice day to all!

-Daniel
