Carman Pirie has an interesting post about how he used ning to support a real world Open Space event. Like Carman I’m concerned not to let recording of conversations become an impediment to participants, so I really liked his ideas for keeping it streamlined, whilst offering hosts the chance to record mini videos to the site.

The ning site Carman used is private, but it sounds like it has added a lot to the event – and very much in keeping with allowing each participant to take responsibility and contribute.

Chris Corrigan likes it too!

Purpose

I’ve just picked up the phrase “communities of purpose” via Mark. Sounds a bit sharper than community of practice. You could say that Open Space revolves around communities of purpose.

Ok, an effort to return to business as usual. The European Parliament has voted decisively against software patents. Good. But perhaps not as good as I thought, if Tim is
