Hi Thomas. Thank you for this clarification. I just logged in to the OS Garden to have another look around. I will try to figure out how to create a space and/or offer.

As I understand it, the space is always there. Only to announce and show up! Happy weekend!

I really appreciate the effort that has been made to initiate these Open Space Garden sessions. Has there been any discussion about the timing of these sessions? I would not dream of asking you to change it just for me. But it just happens that I already had a recurring meeting at this same day/time on Thursday mornings. If the Open Space Gardens could be just about any other day/time, I would be very interested to participate.

The details are below... I hope to see you there! Lucas Cioffi This email was originally sent on Sep 13, 2024: Thanks to the encouragement of Rijon "Ryan" Erickson, Jeff Aitken, Muireann Ni Sheanlaoich, Thomas Herrmann, and Paul Levy, we'll try gathering in the Open Space Gardens every Thursday at two times: Time 1 every Thursday: 8pm Tokyo / 7pm Beijing / 4:30pm India / 13.00 CET / 12pm London / 7am Eastern Time 2 every Thursday: 8:30pm India / 17.00 CET / 11am Eastern / 8am Pacific Location: https://openspace.qiqochat.com/gardens Cost: Free! How it Works The "gardens" are always open. You can even try it now. It is a simple webpage with a picture of a garden and a "Join Video" button. Click the button to open Zoom. Yes, you can drop in any day and at any time, but to make it more likely that you will find someone to talk to when you are there, we're starting with two gathering times every Thursday. Those times are shown above. On the left side of the page, you'll see a list of gardens in different countries. You can move to any of these gardens and join Zoom when you get there. To let others know what you are discussing on Zoom, click the pencil and type in the topic. People in the other gardens will see the topic change and if they are interested in it, they can bumble bee over to join you. Who will facilitate? I will try to be there for the first few, but I invite anyone to help think about how we can make this an easy process that runs without a facilitator. In my opinion, the way to make this work the best, is to only use the main room (the central garden) as a place to do introductions and to let everyone say what their topic is. Then all the conversations can happen in the other gardens. If the conversation starts in the central garden, then most people will probably stay there, and it won't be as engaging (in my opinion). What do you think? Let's think about ways to make this simple and easy (and awesome!) Make the space our own Each garden has a photo and its own Zoom link. If you have a beautiful photo of a garden in your country, I would be happy to display it in the list of gardens. Please email it to me (or reply to everyone if you like) so we can learn more about where everyone lives and our beautiful world. The origin of this idea Credit for the idea goes to two leading lights in the OS community: Suzanne Daigle and Michael Herman. During the pandemic they were inspired and thought of an online space that members of this community can drop into 24/7 to have a conversation. Tech notes 1. We are using free Zoom accounts in there right now, so if your conversation ends after 40 minutes, click the "Join Video" button again. You will see the timer counting down for the final 10 minutes of the call so you are not surprised. If people like this idea of the gardens, we can collect donations and put some paid Zoom accounts in there. 2. When someone clicks "Join Video" the system shows a red camera image like the one below. One problem is that we don't know when people leave Zoom, so we display that camera image for 60 minutes or until they open Zoom in a different garden. So, sometimes it looks like people are on Zoom, but they are not on Zoom anymore. [cid:image001.png@01DB1C0D.11F45760] Questions or Suggestions? Please feel free to let everyone know what you think.
