Annette Zera asks on the OSLIST... "I've been asked if it is possible to run an *online *Open Space eventfor 500 people. I haven't a clue. Can anyone help? I pick some pieces from the answers here.Sure, we all prefer to open space in an atmosphere like the one in this photo :-)!... but sometimes an online OST meeting might be required too!
Currently in one single OpenSpace-Online conference 10-125 participants can work completely selforganized in a solution-oriented and high data-protected 4hour step-by-step open space workshop process. If a larger group wants to invite more than 125 participants, we can easily arrange a set of X simultaneous OpenSpace-Online conferences for hundrets or thousands of people - e.g. with exact the same main-theme/-question. In all cases our system produces an extensive just-in-time conference documentation (digital) at the end of the conference for immediate selforganized further work. If you wish to have more information, just write me separately (gabriela.ender[@]OpenSpace-
"OpenSpace-Online briefly": between 1999 and 2002 we developed the OpenSpace-Online Real-Time Methodoloy (and are enhancing the IT technology permanently - so far without investors). It has been used in more than 70 countries till today. The OpenSpace-Online process supports very much selforganization, because my vision was at that time (and still is), to enable open space empowerment around the globe without the must of having Open Space facilitators or consultants in the room. Our real-time online methodology includes a multi-dimensional virtual open space facilitation. Preparation and follow-up need the same quality as we know from well done OST processes. The realization of my vision and this technology was possible based on the deep trust in selforganization - in particular in the power of people and passion. In this way the OpenSpace-Online Real-Time Methodology works since 9 years. Harrison was my inspiration for that and is my role modell for true selforganization.
P.S. Thank you dear Holger, for mention OpenSpace-Online.
Best regards to London!

Lisa Heft adds on....
For something specifically Open Space - OpenSpace-Online has a virtual facilitator (a lovely character that welcomes and invites you, explains the principles and law), beautiful simple graphics that give the body-sense of sitting in a circle together, a virtual wall upon which to post topics, the ability to bumblebee from group to group, butterfly over to a 'cafe' and also have side butterfly conversations, and the output of a full Book of Proceedings printed out at your own desk. And you don't have to know anything technologically to do it - there is great support during the real-time of the online conference but most of it is completely intuitive to the participants.
Gabriela is an Open Space facilitator and she field-tested her design over several years with many of us Open Space folks. Though text-based - as we know, there is nothing exactly like a group being together in person - it is amazingly close to the in-person feeling, because of its thoughtful design, visuals and options for any participant to self-organize into wherever they want to go, to write ('speak') or simply to wander amongst the conversations and witness.
I suggest you check it out.
