<big>Here are some of the end-of-day reflections from partipants in JTM-Seattle. You can hear these and other comments by launching this audio stream, or download this MP3 podcast. (TOCOME)
</big>

*Journalism should expand ideas about who they are and what they do.
*It might be a little too soon to write the obituary for legacy media. We have an opportunity be not just content creators but content incubators. I don't think we're dead yet.
*We had a session about how mass-media can work with hyperlocal media. Hyperlocal can give mass media heart that mass media has lost and mass media can give hyperlocal extra credibility by recognizing it.
*I've learned you cannot take certain knowledge or accepted wisdom for granted. I was shocked to learn that one person in the room had only heard of the phrase hyperlocal journalism the day before. She has been tracking hyper-local startups for years.
*I found out that covering city hall or Olympia or city hall is not economical, it's really really expensive and it is going to be a tough nut to crack.
*John Hammer has a new TAO of journalism idea. He likes that this group is transparent and open.
*I learned that we are all basically squirrels on the inside.
*I've been hearing a great spirit of collaboration. So much openness and a particular openness to collaborative.
*She has learned to make sure that it is being frame din such a way that it inspires hope and inspires to dream of solutions rather than creating a negative image with the news.
*I have been participating in a heartful mindful collaborative and I love it.
*Journalism that matters, still matters.
*I'm learning how important feelings are and discovering who Americans are and myself regarding feelings and I'm not sure if I'm doing this right -- it's about the happiness index. What if Seattle had it's own happiness index. Life would be passionate and people would be really happy.
*Last summer I went to something called bar camp, which is kind of like this open whatever we are doing now and I was underwhelmed. There was no shared purpose at that event. This feels a lot more genuine and it involves less postering and I have been really pleasantly surprised by the conversations that I have heard today.
*Grace said it is nice to see that we are all delirious. That captures it for me perfect. My head is spinning. We are all gathering here for our own reasons but there is a collective purpose at the heart of that. People are trying to push themselves about what's possible. There is a collective power in this room to really make a difference moving forward and move this new model of journalism that can be replicable for a decade.

===Steven Wright, the mapmaker, on what he's heard===

Mapmaker Steven Wright observes:

When you go deep in water there is a point where you feel like you are being pulled down. This group feels like you are still going looking and diving deeper. It's wonderful to be in a group where that is allowed.

The things that are making it to the wall are unique -- the idea of the link between the hyperlink and the heard. But what I'm hearing is fragmented still. When you look at what I've collected it doesn't have a cohesiveness yet. The map of this session may have a lot of white space in it and that is just as important as if it were full.

===More reflections===

Ann Stadler: "I hope we have a lot of white spaces .... the excitement I feel is moving into uncharted territory.

Commentator: The question that's coming up for me is what do we value? Is it money. It represents that there is going to be a shift. I'm not sure where it is all going to end up.

Maurreen Skowran: She explains her squirrel remark (above). We were talking about pattern recognition. We're programmed to recognize a threat and even if false we are safer to react to fall threat as much as a real threat. That's the squirrel analogy. We are now looking forward. We are moving past the squirrelness.

Comment: She talks about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_A._Heifetz Ron Heifitz.] An adaptive leader forces something into a period of chaos to see what emerges.

Comment: Quotes from urban planner: How do you plan a city? Uncertainty is understood as a challenge, adventure, its function cannot be determined. it takes courage to sketch partial solutions. It also takes courage to design unfinished, beginning totalities. Urban planning to the rescue.

Ilona Meager: She talked about he book social intelligence in one of her groups. She has been looking at PTSD and has been learning about neuroscience and the mind. In the book Social Intelligence the writer talks about how brains are social creatures. Brains are seeking ways to mirror other individuals linked in the room. We are really linking up strongly. I think a lot of us are feeling that energy that we each have and I'm inspired for the next day.

Jody Brannon: I have been struck at this gathering, my most recent one has been Online News Association. She has found at this one less twittering, and also less density and defensiveness about main stream media. She is deeply concerned that those of us concerned about finding investigative journalism pay -- it isn't going to pay mortages. She hopes we can tackle that a bit more with some guidelines.

Commentator: It is a very chaotic time and a lot of people don't feel like they have the answer. That may be true of individuals, but as a collective mind he's heard a lot. "You may not have the answer but we collectively do."

69.91.139.50: /* The guiding principle: The law of two feet */

=JTM-PNW: The breakout sessions called by the participants=

<big>By 9:30 a.m. on Friday, JTM-PNW participants are reading to "call" breakout sessions for the rest of the day and on Saturday. they do this by filling out 8.5x11 sheets and postng them on a convening wall; then participants can decide which sessions they want to attend -- or convene. More than 230 participants are participating over three days and there are about 80 people already "in the circle" at 9 a.m. PACIFIC this morning. First, JTM convenor Peggy Holman explains the principles of the gathering. </big>

==Holman: Four principles of open-space sessions==

JTM collaborator Peggy Holman explains four principles of open-space sessions:

*Whoever comes, is the right group -- If no one shows up, you may be so far ahead, nobody knows how important it is. YOu can use the time for yourself, or talk to one other person, and you bring that idea with you into another sessions.

*Whatever happens is the only thing that could have -- go with an idea and see what it has to offer.

*When it starts is the right time. An invitation to have a different relationship with time>

*When it's over, it is over.

==The guiding principle: The law of two feet==

*The law of two feet: The essense of the Open Space process. There is a foot of passion and a foot of responsibility and when you put those two feet together, they carry you when and were you need to be -- to take responsible for "what you love." It's an invitation to pay attention to what you care about and where you want to be and go for it. Ask yourself: "Do I find myself contributing, am I learning, am I having a good time?" If not, take the rest of you with you and go some place else.

*If the link for your session isn't working, email gstahre /at/ gmail or feel free to fix it yourself.
