Dear Michael, dear all

Never thought I'd provide the first piece on Open Space in Somali, but 
here it is:

A description of OST, then the principles finally the Law of Two Feet.

WAA MAXAY OPEN SPACE? Open Space waa  sanco nidaam cusub, ama hanaan 
shaqeed, tasoo aduunka oo dhan lagu isticmaalo. Uma baahna xaqiiqadii 
nidaam, islamarkaana waxaa si hufan u isticmaali kara koox (6-2000 
qof). Open Space waxaa laga isticmaalaa Mareykanka iyo Yurub 
marxaladaha adag ee xalka mustaqbalka u baahan. Open Space macnihiisu 
waa qol, kasoo albaabku furan yahay.Waa fudud yahay, laakiin waa qalab 
sameeya xaalad ku saleysan habnidaameed dood iyo wada shaqeyn, Qof 
kasta oo ka qeyb qaataa, wuxuu ku deeqayaa xirfadiisa howl karnimeed, 
wuxuuna raad ku yeelan doonaa natiijada ka soo baxda.

XEERARKA OPEN SPACE
•  Ka qeyb qaatayaashu,waa inay noqdaan kuwa quseeya
•  Maxaa dhacaya,ma waxa keliya,ee dhici doona
•  Waxay bilaabayaan,wakhtiga ku haboon
•  Marka  dhamaadana wuu dhamaaday

WAX QABADKA DHAQDHAQAAQU LEEYAHAY
• Haddii qof la kulmo fursad inuu wax barto,taas oo xaalada  
isaga/iyada aanay wax ka dersi karin inu wax

yes, holger, great idea and good luck!  i think the gathering will be
a job in itself, even before the converting.  if you haven't already
figured out how you'll go about storing what you gather, i just remind
you that the www.openspaceworld.NET wiki workspace exists for exactly
this sort of project and purpose.  there for you or anyone to use on
projects that use or support ost.  michael
