Dear friends on the OSlist,
We're inviting you to be part of a simple experiment:
Open Space Gardens - a virtual space that adds opportunities for real-time conversations to our long-standing OSlist email community.

Since 1996, the OSlist has been a vibrant space for sharing and learning. Now, with Open Space Gardens, we're adding a live, interactive layer where you can:

  1. Post a topic related to living in or working with Open Space
  2. Announce your topic on the OSlist
  3. Meet in real time with whoever shows up - it is Open Space!
  4. Take notes during your meeting in a shared notepad
  5. Share a your notes on the OSlist afterward to keep the space for more conversations open

You can propose sessions anytime - just add your topic to the agenda wall in the Open Space Gardens and announce it in the OSlist.
This is a simple, light-touch way to meet more directly and deepen our global exchange, while staying rooted in the OSlist.

To join in:
Enter the space and post your topic: https://openspace.qiqochat.com/gardens

This initiative emerged from conversations during Peace and High Performance, and is being co-created by practitioners including Peggy Holman, Lucas Cioffi, François Knuchel, and myself.
Welcome to the garden!
Warmly,
Thomas Herrmann

Hi everyone,

I also want to send big hugs and my sincere appreciation to Suzanne Daigle
who was the first one to inspire the earliest experiments of an always-on,
online "garden" on QiqoChat in 2019 even before Zoom became widely adopted
during the pandemic.  It is because of Suzanne with great advice from
Michael Herman that we at Qiqo had a lot of functionality ready to go for
the newest innovations by Peggy Holman, François Knuchel, and Thomas
Herrmann.

All of these pioneers share a vision that when lovely people on the OSLIST
get together, we are capable of amazing things.  I love the care that they
are putting into making this as simple as possible for all of us.  We are
on a journey of many years together.  All are welcome to participate and to
shape it.
