Another alternative I learned (probably from the great DC Liberating Structures <https://bit.ly/2X6ctaG> group) is in Zoom making everyone a Host.
This gives everyone the ability to move between breakouts. It is a little tedious because the original Host must go through the Participant list and one-by-one make each person a Host, but if your partner is Opening Circle, then you can do this in the background. When sessions are posted, folks then select the appropriate breakout to join (just like a Host). To use their two feet, they leave the breakout room, end up in the main room, then butterfly or bumble bee. The caveat here is to not select "Leave Meeting" because you'll be taken out of Zoom have to click back in; just click "Leave Room". I've only tried it this one time and it seemed to work well. First-time Zoom users would need some instructions.

Here it is: scroll to the bottom.... https://openleadershipnetwork.com/onprogress/ In the online OST design, we use plain old Zoom accounts, one per room and define Lobby, Hallway, Lounge, and people use these to hang around and chat with others who congregate there. We also stay put in the big room after the Open to handle questions and welcome strays... ....and people come and go to/from there and often hang for a while, sometimes people have beverages with them. I hope this helps you out a little bit.

While a number of us have organized and participated in online Open Space conferences we were wondering about what ideas people have or have tried to replicate the butterfly experience. Our organizers haven't come up with too many ideas that creates the same experience. We tried https://theonline.town/ which is pretty cool but the technology is still a bit young and people were challenged getting in and connected. (It has loads of potential). What else have people tried? Thanks!
