Open Space Learning in a BLOG???
The process we are following for the division of our online groups is a moderated version of "Open Space Learning".
Here are some brief quotes from the open space process:
Open Space is based in the belief that organizations and communities run on passion and responsibility. It allows groups of any size to self-organize around what they really care about to get things done. It's been called passion bounded by responsibility, the energy of a good coffee break, intentional self-organization, spirit at work, chaos and creativity, evolution in organization, and a simple, powerful way to get people and organizations moving -- when and where it's needed most.
There are 4 principles:
- "Whoever comes is the right people"
- "Whenever it starts is the right time"
- "Whatever happens is the only thing that could have"
- "When it's over, it's over"

I have used Open space for both faculty and students. Had a very wide range of outcomes - which is the point.
One year for faculty in a summer cohort - I gave them all a reading assignment about the challenges of teaching in higher ed. They were to come prepared the next day with 1 topic they would passionately like to discuss.
We then posted large yellow posters down a hallway. Each person had to post their topic on a single sheet. Then we sent then for coffee. While they were gone we combined like topics. When the faculty returned they were walk the halls with their coffee and sign up for one session they were passionately like to discuss. If no one signed up for a session it was cancelled. Some session mutated and split. We then spent the afternoon in these discussion sessions. Each group had a scribe and posted full discussion notes on their sessions.
It was a great experience - high energy. The outcome was a list of topics with supporting dialog that faculty felt were really important issues in the classroom. We used these items to help form faculty conferences in the fall and to develop the Bush foundation grant we applied for that year.
Serge,
Good question about the OS systems practices. There are many different approaches, technologies, or organization theories on how to best achieve group transformation. OS is sometimes contrasted to Appreciative Inquiry, Results Based Management, or to the Four Practices. All are participatory formations for bringing people together. Criticism of abound on each. OS tends to be on the flexible/liberal side of the spectrum. Those who prefer a focus on institutional structure for results often criticize these formats.
Since OS is by nature "open" I would not necessary categorize them as being akin to affinity groups. The need to achieving change is similar but the means of process are different.
I guess this could be a discussion blog in itself!
I would think that in an organization, Open Source might be a good way to encourage what's been referred to as 'knowledge management' and 'communities of practice.' Is this a viable use for Open Source?
