espacio abierto (report, a bit long)

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

Dear Florian,
toward the end of May, I will have the opportunity to introduce 48
people from 14 European countries to open space-technology (a 4,5 day
training in Weimar, Germany).
Since there has been a strange rumour that it is close to impossible
to have open space in Spain, I would very much like to make your mail
available to the participants.
May I?
peace
