WOSonOS 2014 will be in Serbia. Congratulations and best wishes to Jasmina and her Serbian team

I think that this story, and the video festuring HO (link below), which was sent as a post to the OSLIST, can be an inspiration for all of us. Thanks, Christy, and I hope you don't mind if I "redistribute" your post here. - Artur

[From the OSLIST - English Announcement]

We are delighted and very excited to announce the launching of a first French Book on Open Space.  It was produced as an Ebook that people can download for free. Intended primarily for a corporate audience, the book gives examples of actual client situations (from the private and public sectors) where Open Space was used while also providing information on the planning steps and benefits of this powerful technology.…

We promised that we would be transparent in our accounts, but we have been too busy to have presented them so far. Apologies for the delay. But here are the accounts from the beginning of this NING. If by chance you detect any error, please send an email to instituto-ost@instituto-ost.pt. And if some of you can make a small donation to cover the small loss we have, we will be grateful. You may be sure that it will be included in the next statement of…

We have promised that from time to time we would reproduce in this NING some posts to the OSLIST, as there are some people in this Ning that are not (yet) in the OSLIST. We have not been able to do that often, and especialle we have not been able to translate them and reproduce them transalted in the Groups where are some people that don't understand English. 

 

So for this time I am reproducing here a current conversation in the OSLIST. I will also make a call for…

My profound congratulations to Claudia Gross for the marvelous work she is doing with OST in Egipt and to Eslam Erman for the launching of the Open Space Egypt website at: http://openspaceegypt.com/.

 

Marvellous!

I am sad to inform those of you that are not in the OSLIST that our friend Ralph Copleman passed away on January 6, at the age of 65.

 

Among many other comments, poems and insights, mainly in the OSLIST, I want to recall here this message he wrote in his OST NING page: 

"I have a feeling that whoever shows up here will be the right…

Some people have transmitted us their concerns about what will happen to the OST NING after the decision from the NING organization to stop the non premium Ning sites. By the way, this has been discussed in the session on NING that has been convened by myself, Lisa Heft and Shufang Tsai (whom was not present in person, but only in spirit) in the recent WOSonOS in…

I think that the Blogs of the main page, must be used only to talk about Open Space.

[Harrison Owen has sent yesterday a message to some friends and suggested me to "NING" it, to enlarge the discussion to all this community. And here I am, posting his provocative message, as he asked for - Artur]

Welcome to the confusion of HHO - but perhaps in this cloud of unknowing

there might be a nubbin of a useful idea.



Some little bit ago, and partially in jest, I proposed that it is now time

to eliminate OST. I am not sure we could do… Continue

We are happy to announce that we have removed the advertisements from this website, due to several generous donators.



Membership will always be free.



We will soon be introducing a "Donations" button. Revenues from Donations will be used to remove the ads and for eventual future expansion - plus a portion will go to the Access Queen project, which raises awareness for sharing resources and helps individuals of lower incomes attend the annual international World Open Space… Continue
