       To our Colleagues and Friends on the OS list,

We are delighted and very excited to announce the launching of a first
French Book on Open Space.  It was produced as an Ebook that people can
download for free. Intended primarily for a corporate audience, the book
gives examples of actual client situations (from the private and public
sectors) where Open Space was used while also providing information on
the planning steps and benefits of this powerful technology.
The title of the book is :“Changez votre organization avec coeur et
élan”which means “Change your organization with heart and vitality”.
We invite you to take a look at the book even if you do not read or
speak French.
You will recognize many familiar faces from our OS community including
Harrison Owen who wrote the preface and a team of 9 authors: Frémy Cesar
(Haiti), Catherine Corbaz (Switzerland), Suzanne Daigle (USA), Diane
Gibeault (Canada), Théo Groot (Uganda), Christine Koehler (France),
DéborahMaarek (Belgium), Catherine Pfaehler (Switzerland), and Artur
Silva (Portugal).

The fact that Harrison’s Open Space User Guide was not available in
French and that there were so few resources and publications in French
are what motivated me to start this project.  We began about a year ago
not really knowing what we were getting into. It was a wonderful
collaborative experience! Our hope is that this book will raise
awareness and generate lots of interest in the Francophone community
around the world – a precursor to having the User Guide translated also.

To launch the publication of this book, we produced a shortvideo
<http://www.youtube.com/user/ForumOuvert>and are planning to promote the
book with the following press release.  While the video is in French,
you will have a chance to see and hear Harrison talk about it in English
(French sub-titles) and also see the team giving examples, sharing their
excitement and inviting people to read the book.

For those who are interested,here
<http://www.christine-koehler.fr/forum-ouvert/>is  an integral copy of
Harrison’s preface in English titled /****
<http://christine-koehler.fr/forum-ouvert/>**Note to Corporate Clients**
/ Note à l’intention des entreprises,/in which he speaks about his work
with the International Accor Group of Hotels in France.

Below you'll find a press release, don't hesitate to forward it to your
media contacts and networks.
Thank you all for your support as a community, this ebook would not have
happeed without you !

Press Release

First Book in French on Open Space Technology

What if you could identify a critical issue in your organization, bring
together many diverse people who have a stake in it and come out of a
single meeting with a solid action plan and concrete initiatives to
which key players are fully committed?

This is exactly what Open Space Technology invites people to do.  It is
a simple and quick methodologythat applies in just about any situation
as long as there is truly a sense that the issue is important.   This
method is also recognized for being effective for complex and urgent
problematic situations.

Co-authored by nine experienced facilitators from around the world with
a preface by Harrison Owen, creator of Open Space and author of Open
Space Technology, this newly published White Book presents a detailed
picture of why leaders and organizations may want to host events using
this simple, highly engaging and dynamic process.

Christine Koehler of Paris, France, who initiated this e-publication,
explains the genesis of this collaborative effort:  “I deplored that
there were so few resources available in French despite the fact that
Open Space is being used in over 145 countries.

Through real client stories, readers will see the possibility of
transformational changein their own organization while gaining an
understanding of when to use this process and the steps required in
planning an event of their own.”

This 58 page E-book includes articles, testimonials, photos, references,
links and author biographies.  Readers will have an opportunity to
download it for freeand to also ask questions about the
process:www.forum-ouvert.fr <http://www.forum-ouvert.fr/>
