[OSList] Client Endorsement

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Seems to me that the real change there is that USAID has, as many other 
similar orgaisations in other countries, supported and funded OST events 
for "others" (such as for a project we were involved in in Ukraine 
supporting civil society projects many years ago) and that now they are 
using it for themselves. Of course, this could be a breakthrough.
When one of my German clients starting using OST in their own 
organisation for all kinds of things it spread throughout their system 
and associated systems throughout Europe. There is a brief account of 
this process available as an ebook (presently presented in three 
languages in that ebook, shortly available in 6 languages... including a 
Chinese version produced by Hulu that some of you met at the WOSonOS in 
Florida).
Are we going mainstream?
