	Open space conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open Space is a way of organising a meeting or a conference so that there is maximum participation, energy and focus.
		Open Space can be used for large or small meetings.
		An Open Space meeting must have a clear theme and focus and this is usually expressed as question.

		Open Space is not for everybody, and involuntary, non-informed participation is not only a contradiction in terms, it can become very destructive.
		The Open Space environment provides the nutrient setting for creative activity, and those who would lead in that environment must keep their eye on the creative process and forget about the clock.
		Open Space Events do, of course, occur in time, which means that there must be a time of beginning and a time for closure.

	Open Space Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open Space Technology (OST) is, among other things, a way to convene people for a conference, retreat or meeting.
		In Open Space, a facilitator explains the process and then participants co-create the agenda and host their own discussion groups.
		While the mechanics of Open Space provide a simple means to self-organize, it is the underlying principles that make it effective both for meetings and as a guidepost for individual and collective effectiveness.

	PCJ Article: "Open Space" Zoning, by Randall Arendt
		Above photo is of open space development in Lower Makefield Township, Pennsylvania, where over half of this 431 acre tract has been preserved as farmland (137 acres donated to a local farmland trust) or as woods and wetlands (100 acres).
		The remaining open space is permanently protected under a conservation easement co-signed by a local conservation commission or land trust, and recorded in the registry of deeds.
		The beauty of open space zoning is that it is easy to administer, does not penalize the rural landowner, does not take development potential away from the developer, and is extremely effective in permanently protecting a substantial proportion of every development tract.

		Open Space is all of us who watched Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab, and who never thought we'd get to a new millennium with such appallingly little advancement in the technology of spaceflight.
		Open space is the canvas being drawn upon by Bert Rutan, Elon Musk, Robert Bigelow, Richard Branson, Paul Allen, and the other alpha technologists and financiers behind what is becoming known as the alt.space sector.
		Openspaceproject.com is one person's effort to keep current on Open Space technological and economic developments, and to attempt to distinguish the true leaders in the field from those who talk and spin a lot while actually accomplishing little.

		Open Space Technology was created in the mid-1980s by organizational consultant Harrison Owen when he discovered that people attending his conferences loved the coffee breaks better than the formal presentations and plenary sessions.

		In this context, there have been several efforts to challenge the WSF, to continue to keep it open, to advance the climate of opinion about the usefulness of the WSF as an open space, and to elaborate on the idea of open spaces.

	Open Space Technology: A Summary
		Open Space Technology is a workshop design tool to use when situations include a diverse group of people who must deal with complex, and potentially conflicting material in innovative and productive ways.
		With Open Space, people tend to be creative, synergistic and self-motivated.

		I recommend using open space tehcnology and/or other large scale intervention techniques to mine the collective emotional intelligence of a group of people (this may be your company, or people from an acadamic field you belong to).
		Open Space is voted as the number 1 method uniting transparency communities, and because of its simplicity I predict it will always be the gateway to anyone who prizes self-organising, a term which actually means making the most of everyone's time, learning and passions to make a diffeernce to our overall purpose.
		Open Space is now 21 years young and over 100000 experiences mature and networked by people who are both most open with their knowlhow and conscious that you learn something subly more about human relationship trust from every Open Space you particpate in.
