★Open Space in the annual Wikimania Conference
The annual Wikimania Conference was held in Taipei this year - and it is a truly interactive and open community. In addition to their un-conference approach, they decided to have a pre-conference day
using OST to focus on "Citizen Journalism". Lots of chaos, confusion, fun, free feelings, sharing and surprise - "everything really did come from the participants", and "we heard many new things from others". As this event was sponsored by Public TV there was an abundance of media coverage!
and the wiki seems a very useful resource of information about OST.
The open space organization/facilitation of
events/people it's being one of the best things I have discovered
here in Taipei. ... maybe one day I could make/help this king of
meetings happen next to where I live. ... the CJ (citizen
journalism) session showed me other ways of making things happen! :)"

公民新聞轉大人~The evolving citizen journalism：Opportunities and Challenges
2007維基年會在台北舉行，主辦單位特別策畫了一場「公民新聞轉大人~The evolving citizen journalism：Opportunities and Challenges」開放空間會議，於8/2在劍潭舉行，做為整個年會的會前會。
為延續〞unconference〞的精神，所以選擇了以開放空間會議的方式進行。會議進行看來以乎亂亂的、很自由，卻也同時充滿了分享的精神和處處驚喜的感覺。〞所有的討論內容都是來自參與者〞、〞從參與者身上聽到很多新東西〞，也有不少人在拍照、攝影，內容很快被放到公視公民新聞平台(1)、(2)、(3)、wiki上。

一位來自西班牙的參與伙伴說：維基百科是了解開放空間會議的好資源。這場開放空間會議是我在台北發現的好事之一，希望有一天我可以把這麼棒的會議方式用在我住的地方。…公民新聞會議讓我見識到讓事情發生的不同方式。
