Dear Marc,
back in 1996 I received the invitation to use OST (Open Space
Technology). This gift came from Harrison Owen.
It did not come without strings attached.
A kind of "price", if you like:
I was firmly admonished to share stuff that I learned in the process of
working with OST.
"Right!", I thought and still think so. To share this stuff has been my
daily practice since then and I love it.
We are in an ongoing experiment with this technology. The parameters and
conditions under which this experiment is conducted continuously evolve
through our communicated experience and learning.
The first 16 events I facilitated in the 12 months after running into
Harrison confirmed that OST always works when certain prerequisites were
in place. It keeps on working even more reliably as our learning is spread.
One of the myriad ways of spreading our learning and honing our skills
in this work are the many varieties of "learning exchanges".
The best know are the
--- WOSonOS moving around the planet
--- regional OSonOS (European Learning Exchanges, for instance)
--- national or local events (in some places they occur or did occur or
are started again and again in the UK, Basque Region, German language
region Austria-Germany-Switzerland and many other places)
--- local exchanges and not to forget
--- Stammtische (the next one in Berlin is just a few days away, Monday,
November 4 at 7pm at this location
http://www.kreuzberger-weltlaterne.com/?lang=en
As far as sharing of proceedings of our own events (we is the sponsors)
the present practice can be seen here
https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/osonos/
Not only can you see the dates, places and conveners for each of the 26
WOSonoses listed there (the 27th of this year has not been posted yet,
its all selforganizing, nothing gets in there except stuff that someone
puts there) but also proceedings, such as the for the 18th in Berlin in
2010
https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1771-wosonos-proceedings-pdf.pdf
and also for the Action Planing
https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1770-wosonos-action-planning-pdf.pdf
Although this took place almost a decade ago, the pdf documents had a
navigation built in... you can reach the individual documents by
clicking on the items in the sidebar.
The proceedings for the Florida WOSonOS in 2013 are an example of a
fancy set with pictures and stuff typed up and a list of participants
with names, email addresses and places folks came from (if things went
correctly, the photos and address stuff could be there only if everyone
agreed to that).
For proceedings of events we facilitate there are other modalities. What
happens to the proceedings is in the hands and responsibility of the
sponsors of events.
Nevertheless, there is a data base that lists about 834 events that have
taken place around the planet... mostly its the Title, length of event,
dates, number of pariticpants, www of the sponsor, locations, names of
facilitators, Assistants and Team, Language used, tags... but not
proceedings.
Here are a couple of examples

As far as poems are concerned: There used to be an annual competition
for the finest poems on open space... here is an sample of how that went
(in fact, the archives of our list are a real treasure chest for almost
any angle of our learning), inlcuding a sample of the poems
https://www.mail-archive.com/oslist@lists.openspacetech.org/msg01649.html
and a sample, authored by Ralph Copleman
"Dare to Facilitate Open Space!
Against best counsel,
Dare engagingly,
Facilitate!
Get help in just knowing Love matters!
Now Open-positively-quite-remarkable-Space today!
Undo victimhood,
Wildly x-perience your zest!
That's it."
...
cheers

Dear OSList community,
Will you give me some guidance on conventions on sharing Proceedings from
WOSonOS outside this group. Is it appropriate to, for example, blog the
beautiful found poem of our final check-out in Sunday’s closing circle? Is it
appropriate to share Proceedings pages among folks who have an interest in OST
facilitation or an interest in a particular domain that we discussed supporting
through Open Space?
Thanks in advance! Blessings!
Marc
