The Doctor Is In

Here’s an email I just sent to a few people…

I’ve decided to collect and compile stories about Open Space events.

What I’m looking for is experience:

• skepticism
• excitement
• frustration
• revelation
• exhaustion
• experience
• community
• learning
• disappointment

Whatever people have experienced, I’d like to have it. My goal is to compile them and publish them.

I’m asking for a few things:

• If you, personally, have a story you’re willing to share, please share it with me.
• If you were an organizer of an event, or a participant at an event, please share this email with the list of participants.
• Have people respond directly to me with the following information:
• • Name
  • Contact info (email, phone, mailing)
  • Employer/organization
  • Whether they are willing to have their name used, or would prefer that it be anonymized
  • Whether they are willing to have their employer/organization used, or not
  • What the event was, and when and where

I know this is a lot to ask. My goal is to contribute to or create a work that helps others understand the WHY of Open Space through the experiences of others.

I’m not asking anyone to write a dissertation. A paragraph or two will suffice. I may do some editing, in which case I will send the edited material back to the submitter for approval.

At some point, I’ll put these up on a blog or wiki, but initially I’m just going to collect them.

People can send their stories to doc at thoughtworks dot com
