Re: [OSList] report from round one of the birthday party this morning

[Lourdes Adriana Diaz-Berrio Doring via OSList]

Hello dear Harisson:
 I am so happy and honored "to know you in person" as I told you the first
time I met you, in New York, you replayed to me:" I am also very happy to
know you in person" I told you it is different because I red  several books
you wrote before meeting you and then we both laughed.
For me it is really important to have had this chance to know you and to be
exposed to your contributions, it has changed many things for me in many
ways!.
Happy birthday! And I hope I will see you soon in an other Open Space event!
Adriana

[OSList] Birthday Bash was a wild success

[Suzanne Daigle via OSList]

Hi Everyone,

It's hard to tell how many people popped in yesterday -- 40, 50, 60 or
more!!  Sometimes we just saw their names, other times their voices and
their faces. It was a wild wonderful ride, a technology adventure of the
best kind. Lucas Cioffi ever so dedicated who conceived QiQoChat which
created the dream that it would be possible for us to meet in a big house
cannot be thanked enough. Fate conspired against us not because of QiQo but
because of concurrent tech upgrades that messed us up. Not to worry, all
was calm and between Lucas, Michael Herman and I and with the joint
participation of all who came, we truly had a blast. We always knew this
was an experiment and experiment it was. The possibilities are truly
heartwarming.  Many wave riding days ahead!

There were serious topics and serious conversations, lots of hearty
laughter, delighted outcries as people joined and others so pleased to meet
f2f (virtually) for the very first time. You could feel the affection and
interestingly enough, everyone started talking as if they'd known each
other forever, because that's truly how it feels when we are part of this
Open Space worldwide community.

Harrison with his usual and wonderful aplomb kept the conversation going as
we settled into our tech challenges. There were some teary eyed moments as
people described what Open Space meant to them and how grateful they were
to Harrison.  We even sang a global Happy Birthday, a bit difficult to get
all our words coordinated but that was the fun of it all.

We had a few breaks during the day not many as one stray person after
another would arrive on camera. Two by two's talking then suddenly there
were three, four, five and more. Always the conversations flowed to invite
and include, self-organization as its best.

It's what a birthday party should be, a mix of everything, over meals and
favorite spirits (yes we saw a beer, a glass of wine or two and martinis
yes... from Russia) with a slight difference that it was from the comfort
of our own homes or offices wherever we happened to be.

Here is a rough picture album
 pulled together from
computer screen shots. As you scroll down with your mouse, notice how the
captions pop up to describe some of the antics of the day. You'll see how
late at night Kari from Iceland came joining  Alan Stewart  in Australia
who then greeted John Engle from Haiti and his daughter lying on her bed
behind him. Seems Alan babysat the Engle kids a long time ago in San
Francisco.  Yes many precious memories!

Thank you everyone for making this drop in global party magical. We have
much to celebrate from these past 30 years  in Open Space and much to
appreciate from the man in a hat, Harrison Owen who celebrated his 80
years.

Please if you can, do consider joining us at International House in New York
 where Harrison and Karen
Davis, with the help of OSI US, will be hosting their Open Space gathering
on High Performance and the Practice of Peace. A great crew of folks have
confirmed already. This experiential learning has been going on for 20
years or so and indeed in that time, many have been inspired to open space
all over the world after spending three days (used to be 4 days) there.

Thank you all so much,

>From your co-hosts -  Suzanne Lucas, Michael and the wonderful Anne Stadler
who is facilitating an Open Space in India as we speak.

And also thanks very much to you, Michael Herman, by putting this new virtual 
tool at the service of the global community. 

 

Despite my difficulties with the English I hope to become a regular user J

Asunto: [OSList] report from round one of the birthday party this morning

 

the first round of the birthday party featured greetings and stories from maybe 
35 or 40 people from all around the world...

 

Locations so far... London, Massachusetts, Chile, Florida, Paris, New York, 
Chicago, Charlottesville, Kosovo, Nashville, Arizona, Wisconsin, Germany, 
Austria, Maine, Minnesota, Portugal, Egypt, Italy, Singapore, North Carolina, 
Seattle, India, Siberia, California, Stockholm, Netherlands, a few others we 
missed, and counting...

 

visit openspace.qiqochat.com for a screen shot of all our faces on video 
together, with harrison.  the next round is coming up in a little under 2 
hours.   then again, 4 hours after that... for 5 rounds total.  maybe we see 
you there!  

 

please join us, if even for just a little while.  aside from celebrating 
harrison and all the friendships that have grown up around him, we're also 
testing what suzanne calls "the qiqo house" as a place where openspacers can 
drop in and find friends at any time of day or night.  stop by if you can!  
openspace.qiqochat.com and find the event link in the sidebar.

Re: [OSList] report from round one of the birthday party this morning

[Michael Herman via OSList]

thanks JL... and most of the credit goes to Lucas Cioffi, who built the
qiqo platform (which i think is better than yesterday's plan B alternative
at Zoom) and continues to show us how it can support more and closer
connecting in our global practice community, even as it also helps us
invite/welcome more and more friends and partners.

yesterday i counted more than a dozen US states represented and over two
dozen different countries, perhaps the simplest and most diverse gathering
of os practitioners ever assembled.  hooray for all of us!  and... let's do
it again!
