Please let us know if you're coming and what ideas you might have.

The Open Space Discussion is an idea for making meetings grass-rooted and even more effective, now and in future. It follows the law of two feet: if you find yourself in a situation where you are not contributing or learning, move somewhere you can.
The Four Open Space Principles:

• Whoever comes is the right people.
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
• When it starts is the right time.
• When it's over it's over and when it's not over it's not over.

Open Space
In unconference style (open space) all attendees are expected to contribute to running the event in some way. For most people this would mean participating in discussions or to facilitate workshops or discussion-groups. It could also mean organizing food, video-taping, writing minutes or reports. It all depends on your interests and abilities - there are many ways to help bringing this about.

SHE - Sustainable Hospitality Exchange
SHE is a concept. Its idea is to help making hospitality exchange sustainable, i.e. it is generated by itself, through the conditions it shapes.

Hospitality Exchange is the process of interaction between host and guest, possibly facilitated by transparent trust networks. How can these networks best be implemented to facilitate sharing nicely among 'strangers'. Plus, how sustainable are these networks?
