Morsels for chewing upon from the RSS pantry and the tap of tweet:

• Viv McWaters goes open source with her facilitation methods.
• Tweeting the revolution

The sun is shining here on Bowen Island and I am relaxing on the porch enjoying my 41st birthday. Hope all is well where you are

Harvesting things from the RSS fields:

• Rob Paterson begins a series on The Natural Organization which uses a model of systemic change that is very similar to the one we are using with the Berkana Institute in Art of Hosting learning events.
• Geoff Brown‘s new blog design looks great, and his link to Kaki King is a bonus.
• Euan Semple finds a film that describes what it’s like sometimes to be a consultant.
• Time on how twitter can be used in conference settings.

Well, among other places, hosting and teaching at ALIA West this past week, and on my way to Cornwall Ontario this week to work with Tenneson Woolf and Esther Matte and a team at the Canadian Labour Congress as we explore the Art of Hosting Conversations with folks from many different unions.

In transit I have stumbled on some great links this week, so here’s what I am reading:

• Dave Snowdon has an important post on measuring impact rather than outcomes.
• Drawball is worth a look for the way it takes chaos to community with art.
• Myriam Laberge on helpful interventions for tricky group dynamics
• Ashley Cooper shares the film she and Thomas Arthur made as a harvest from Leadership in a Self-Organizing World.
• Wendy Farmer-O`Neil says change is dead in a lovely provocative way.

Back to a regular diet of RSS goodness:

• Rob Paterson posts a great find on love and optimism
