Thanks Tres, i will be happy to join.
Michael, i agree with Marai, QiqoChat is closest to containing face to face
Open Space.
For small groups I have used Zoom + Google Doc, Miro and Google Slides. All
of these tools are helpful to keep
a record and a report of the meeting.

One of the aspects about QiqoChat that I’ve always loved compared to
doing it all via Zoom and whiteboards/Google docs is that it gives me
the feeling closest to a live Open Space.
Participants can linger in between the rooms, peak into the notes, see
who is where, without actually going into the room.
It’s like when I roam around during a live OST event, witnessing
different sessions in parallel in a large room, and I get to feel into
„which one is drawing me in?“
This activates more of my intuitive self, which to me is one of the key
aspects of my love for OST in the first place.
I also get a much better sense of the overall event / vibe / of
everything that is going on than just with Zoom and a Zoom whiteboard or
even external whiteboard.
Very likely I also feel the care, energy and alignment with OST itself
that Lucas and Sandra have been / are putting into Qiqo. This informs the
space.
Which to my knowing isn’t the case with any other tech out there.
Warmly,
Marai

Hi Michael,
Thank you for reaching out.
Yes, QiqoChat is still owned and operated by my wife Sandra and I. You
can see Sandra's name here on the about page:
https://qiqochat.com/about/events In addition to open space, we also
have build some great and affordable tools for building online community
between your scheduled events.
Today and tomorrow, for example, we're the platform being used for an
online open space for The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability
in Higher Education. Some open space facilitators use Qiqo for their
in-person events too, as the way to make it easy for all participants to
take notes in all the breakout spaces. You can change all the colors of
your event space to make it customized to your client.
The cost for QiqoChat is $1/day per person and you bring your own Zoom
license or you can rent one from us for $20 per Zoom for the duration of
your event. You're able to create an event space that is fully capable of
hosting a large (or small !) online open space in just a few minutes, each
with their own dedicated notes page. You can also create the final report
that combines all those notes pages with the click of a button.
We're still here and happy to help!

Hi Michael
I would consider Qiqo for larger events.
My preference nowadays is Zoom combined with its own whiteboard opened
inside, for meetings up till 30 maybe even 50. I will send you a screenshot
of how it can look (will not get through to the list, as it does not allow
attachments).
We used it in the 2nd circle in April for our Building Capacity OSTs.

Hi folks,
Any advice on the best way of doing OST online these days? About six
years ago I facilitated a few on Qiqochat, which worked well, but I’m
wondering if Qiqochat has changed hands as the website is not very
transparent/accessible on this question. I also know there have been some
big advances in Zoom too in the last six years in terms of people’s
capacity to self select into Zoom rooms.
I have sent a note to Heidi Saul who used to do heaps of large scale
OST facilitations on Qiqochat, but thought I’d also ask the question here.
Many thanks from drizzly Melbourne,

Hi Tres..what a sweet offer. I think of it as applying an inspiring vision.
May I repost this offer in the google group for the International Genuine
Contact Organization. Most of us work with OST and there is a lot of
experience working with OST online and this would give us the opportunity
to learn more.

Hi Tres,
I’m bummed that I have a conflict at the chosen time. And I’m thrilled you’re hosting the session! It is the sort of thing that I hope happens more often — an example of what we - Thomas, Funda, Jane, me (I?), and others hope to do with the Open Space Lab experiment.
Thanks for spontaneously jump starting the experiment!
