Dear Deb,

I agree! QigoChat is fabulous, and I highly recommend it - Lucas is a wonderful 
ally and very willing to help with any necessary details.

AND it IS possible to host OpenSpace in Zoom. Quite easily in fact. All you 
have to do is make everyone a co-host. Then when the breakout rooms have been 
set up according to what emerges in the Marketplace, you create an additional 
room as an interim space and put everyone in it. From there, everyone (all 
co-hosts) can see the other breakout rooms and freely move between them. That 
interim room can also serve as a place to rest, should anyone want to just be 
alone and reflect.

On another subject, I hope everyone knows that we (Beehive Productions and the 
amazing Chris Corrigan) are hosting Harrison in an open, interactive 
conversation this Wednesday about the origins of and inspiration for his work 
with Open Space. It’s free, although donations are very gratefully received. If 
you are interested, and haven’t yet registered, please do! Here’s a link for 
more information & registration: 
https://www.beehive-productions.net/course/origin-story-harrison-owen/

All are welcome!

Warmly,

Amy

Re: [OSList] Zoom for OST

[Lucas Cioffi via OSList]

Hello Mark,

I happened to notice Deb's post below about Zoom, OST, and QiqoChat, so I
made an example event you (and anyone) can try out here
.
You can create your own event here .

I'm an open space facilitator and I'm a software developer.  There have
been other great efforts at opening space online over the years by members
of this community; QiqoChat is my effort to enable OST built on top of
Zoom.

By default Zoom doesn't allow users to move themselves to their own
breakout table.  Here's what we provide:

   - Ten breakout spaces for an event, each with their own Zoom meeting and
   a notes page.  You can change swap out the default simple notes page with a
   Google Doc or some other collaborative online tool that you like (ie
   whiteboard or Google drawings with post-its, etc)
   - The ability for users to see who is in which breakout room and what is
   written in the notes page before they join the Zoom video chat.  They can
   see what's being discussed before they use their two feet.
   - A "community wrapper" to keep your participants connected before &
   after the event is over.  This includes a calendar and a weekly newsletter
   to remind people of any upcoming events.  This is great for when you will
   have a series of online events or if you will even let people create their
   own online events (OST or otherwise).

Since 2015 when we first started integrating with Zoom, about 5000 users
have spent 900,000+ audio/video minutes on Qiqo.  The cost is 1c per minute
per person.

I've also added some lightweight tools that can help with OST and/or
Liberating Structures.  As a facilitator, you can do the following:

   - Set topics for breakout tables (once participants create the agenda,
   you copy-paste the list in the admin's tool and then the topics show up
   near the name for each table)
   - Send a message to all participants
   - View notes for all breakout tables on a single page
   - Assign X people to each breakout table and then randomly reassign them
   in groups of different sizes (great for the 1-2-4-all Liberating Structure)
   - Set a countdown timer to display at all tables (some OST facilitators
   would want this and some would not it's up to you)

This works well with agile project management.  For example, the biggest
user of QiqoChat is a company in Norway that has 60 of its remote workers
on Qiqo every two weeks for their 2-hour retrospective meetings using Zoom
& breakouts, similar to OST.

Coincidentally, over the past few years, I've started thinking about how to
take the site to the next level.  I want to come up with a new model where
facilitators who host events on the platform start earning equity in the
company.  The general idea would be that 75% of the company would be owned
by the community, similar to a co-op model.  If/when we sell, 75% of the
purchase price would go to facilitators worldwide.  If there are some folks
on this list who would like to help shape the effort, please do reach out!

[OSList] Zoom for OST Was: OSList Digest, Vol 105, Issue 15

[Deborah Hartmann Preuss via OSList]

Hello, Mark:

I've been using zoom for years - love it.

Still, it is missing some key features to allow de-centralized movement and
self-organisation for OST. The Liberating Structures community has a group
working on how to adapt the LS collaboration patterns, including OST, to
distributed working platforms. They use zoom. They've identified the lacks
of zoom (ex: you cannot freely move from one breakout room to another
without host intervention, etc) and may be in conversation with zoom.us
about that.

Qiqochat is a platform that incorporates zoom and adds features alongside
it to create something more suitable to OST. I attended an online OST there
a few years ago (in the early stages of experimenting with this) and
thoroughly enjoyed it. Michael Herman facilitated, iirc, and could tell you
more, maybe even how it has evolved. At the beginning it was hard to get
non-techies set up for Qiqochat, so I dropped it. But there have been
improvements and the owner, Lucas Cioffe is very pro-active in constantly
improving it so I suspect it has evolved a lot since then. It is quite nice
to use once you're set up. And Lucas does good user support.

I have no first-hand recommendation at present, but thought this history
might help.
Deb
