I am one of those that care about open space spreading in the German-speaking realms. And I am not pleased with the word by word translation of the User's Guide that was done by Klett-Kotta. In fact, I consider it a barrier to open space spreading. At the same time I know that nothing, not even a horrid translation, can stop open space. It has been here and everywhere else in the world all along.<BR>
And, as you once said, there is always the original to enjoy. Or the German websites that practitioners are maintaining here.<BR>
Any of you who would like to have the review I wrote in German, drop me a note and you will get it.<BR>
Last, a piece of advice from my colleague John Webb that I also embrace: only those publishers and translators that have been in open space get a license to translate and distribute the User's Guide.<BR>

For anybody who cares, I am pleased to announce that Klett-Cotta has just published German Translations of "Open Space Technology: A User's Guide" and also "Expanding Our Now." Oxford University Press has just published a Spanish version of "The Spirit of Leadership." Since my German is very rusty and Spanish non-existent I can't tell you a thing about them. but maybe somebody else can.<BR>
