as most of you are aware, Joe Toepfer and I led a 4-day training for open space facilitation in Moscow early in June organized by "Intertraining", a Moscow based association for trainers and consultants working mainly in the not-for-profit sector: civil rights, ecology, civil society, empowerment of minorities, Agenda 21, social economy, prison reform, refugee work, etc. Daily reports on the Moscow adventure were posted on the list and a summary of the reports can be found at <FONT COLOR=0000ff>www.openspaceworld.org <FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"> or at <FONT COLOR=0000ff><U>www.egroups.com/files/oslist/Training+Designs+and+Stories/<FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"></U> or at my site <FONT COLOR=0000ff>www.michaelMpannwitz.de. <BR>

Through a generous donation from the Open Space Institute USA, 60 copies of Harrison Owens "Open Space Technology, A User's Guide" were taken to the open space training in Moscow at the cost of US$ 10 per copy, a price that the Russian colleagues could afford. As part of its regular business, the Open Space Institute US gives this kind of support to organizations who are contributing to the expansion of the use of Open Space worldwide. If you would like to support actions similar to this one in the future make a contribution to OSI-US. If everyone on the list were to give just two bucks or similar currencies the donation chest would be filled up again. Send your check or dollar bills or other currency to the OS-Institute, 15347SE 49th Place, Bellevue, WA 98006, USA.<BR>
<BR>
There is feedback that the books are actively used, passed around and also made available to regional libraries for people involved in the not-for-profit sector. Someone has started to translate parts of the book and there is interest in getting it published in Russian.<BR>

Greetings from Berlin where many of us will gather at this years OSonOS in October.<BR>
