Marai – You can put pictures on it… make it delicious. But the truth of the 
matter is that it is/was all free… open for everybody. Selling audio book is 
one thing… But creating a vibrant open space in which people realize their own 
power and potential it the only game in town. I think.

Harold, I am pleased that you wrote, "They are some of Harrison’s best work in 
my opinion“ !

I appreciate this work a lot and envision making the recordings accessible to 
OST students.

 

Picking up on Bhavesh’s suggestion and taking it forward in a slightly 
different direction:

 

I’d actually love to see them published as an audiobook. 

 

What speaks for an Audiobook:

- Audiobooks have become a major market. Today I heard that 40 % of the books 
sold nowadays are audiobooks.

  I personally have almost totally given up on paper books and will choose an 
audio book over a print copy anytime.

 

- I would like for students to be able to navigate through the content.  

  I prefer having distinguished chapters, not just one big mesh as it comes out 
in a podcast.

  When I started with OST, I listened back to specific parts right before a 
facilitation (kudos to Gerard Muller, who shared this idea and the CDs with me).

 

- I would also like for money to be collected from making the material 
available.

  a) to support the work of the OSI and acknowledge Harrison

  b) to demonstrate that this is really valuable stuff, not just some freebie 
that one can listen to without putting much energy into it

 

Is anybody out there who has knowledge about or experience with creating & 
selling audiobooks?

Unless there is a need to continue making money for them, maybe they can simply 
be uploaded as 5 podcasts, with the option to contribute however much you would 
like to? Then the world can benefit even more!

Marai,

 

The CDs were printed and sold through the OSI-US bookstore partner years ago, 
but that operation was made obsolete by Amazon and electronic books, and they 
closed it and shipped us the remaining inventory. There are none of the CDs 
left.

 

We have planned to make them available online for some time. They are some of 
Harrison’s best work in my opinion, and we do hope to make them available 
again. But we can’t promise a timeline.

Hello everybody,

I am wondering if and where this is still available:

Understanding Open Space - training talks on CD 
Hear the thinking behind Open Space from its creator, Harrison Owen. This 
recording was made during the July, 1999 Open Space Technology Facilitation 
Workshop in Seattle, Washington. These stories, which Harrison tells when 
introducing Open Space to new facilitators, take OS out of the realm of better 
meetings and into a different way of being. 
5 CD set

I have the CDs for myself, yet as I am training others in OST I want to be able 
to point them to this resource.

I found them on the OSIUS page 
https://osius.org/content/open-space-books-videos-and-more only without a link.

When I google for them, I have nothing helpful coming up.

Can anybody help?

Thank you!
Marai
