What's Happening in DandDTrans? Updated 2/1/15

The DandDTrans dialogue is now "complete," and we are moving into a harvesting phase to think together about what we have learned, what future inquiries might be, and what next steps we might be taking individually, in small groups, and perhaps as a collective. On Feb 7, these hackpads will be "frozen" as a record of what has taken place, and will remain accessible to all who wish to access them.
 
See the +Help pad and the +Site Map for more on how to navigate these hackpads. Below are some highlights of what has happened, and information on the harvesting process.
 
Share Your Personal +Harvest
The primary invitation now for harvesting is to write something about your "DandDTrans journey" via +one of the hackpad templates available here. The focus of this narrative can be whatever you wish, and all who have been engaged in the process--yes, that includes you "lurkers!"-- are invited to participate. There are three suggested themes that the hosting team is inviting you to consider:
  • What you gained
  • What you experienced
  • What's next
 
Join The "Harvest Team"
A team is being formed by ​@Nancy Glock-Grueneich​ to dig deeply into these hackpads. Please email Nancy if you would like to participate, as a reader/harvester and also, if you wish, as part of the team that designs the harvesting process. and identify things such as:
  • Sources
  • Inquiries 
  • Actions
  • Answers
  • Themes and patterns
  • Think pieces (existing hackpads that are sufficiently well-crafted to stand on their own, or nearly so)
 
Just Browse Around
Please feel free to browse around if you simply curious about what was discussed here, but not necessarily interested in actively harvesting.  And if you find do happen to find something of particular interest or value to you, consider posting a comment on the general reflections pad within the Harvesting section.
 
  • Here are some interesting places to browse:
  • The +Harvest pads are already seeing some "action"
  • Read about some of the people who were "here" via the +Intros pads. 
  • The main online +Open Space pad links to eleven topics, many of which have detailed discussions via hackpad. 
  • The main +World Cafe pad links to some online conversations, as well as the pads for each of the live calls (also listed below).
  • Each plenary call and each Bohm dialogue has extensive notes on what was said. In the plenaries, these notes are often on subsidiary pads corresponding to breakout groups,, the links to which can be found within the main pad for each call. Here's a basic index:
  • The main +What's In Motion and +Resources pads each link to many subsidiary pads where various items of interest have been compiled.
  • The +Group Works Deck Card of the Evening Conversations were a delightful series of impromptu small group gatherings, each of which was based on a randomly chosen card form the Group Works Deck. Notes were scribed from the live discussions, and in some cases, post-call comments were also added.
