'Open Space Invitation'
Keynotes, tutorials, and papers are important, but they're not the real
conference. The real conference happens in the between times - when people
talk, argue, and reflect.
Open Space is a meeting structure designed to capture and focus the
energy and spontaneity of these emergent conversations. Come join us at the
XP Agile Universe Open Space, and help explore the question,
"How little can we do, and still build great software?"
'When and Where'
ation.
'How Open Space Works'
Open Space will last three days. Each morning, and after the last
session, we'll have a meeting for everybody. The rest of the day is divided
into 45 minute time slots. There are several meeting areas available for
each time slot.
In the opening session, we'll have an opportunity for people to propose
and schedule sessions that interest them. (You can add sessions later as you
think of new topics.) You'll find yourself acting in several different ways:
*Host - bring an idea, propose a session, host the session, and ensure
that a summary is captured in the wiki.
*Participate - recognize an interesting idea that you can contribute to
or learn from, and participate in the session.
*Observe - you're welcome to just watch. You're not stuck attending a
slot you don't like - part of Open Space is the idea that it's ok to leave
a session in the middle.
'Open Space Culture'
Open Space has four principles and a law:
'The Four Principles':
*Whoever comes is the right people.
*Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
*Whenever it starts is the right time.
*When it's over, it's over.
'The Law of Two Feet'
If, during the course of the gathering, you find yourself in a situation
where you are neither learning nor contributing, you must use your two feet
and go somewhere productive.
