Dear coleagues:<br>
<br>
I don't know if you still remember that some time ago I informed<br>
you that a text I wrote on Open Space and another applying OST<br>
to Information Systems were to be published as booklets soon.<br>
<br>
But "soon" in Latin Europe (and especially in the Public
Administration)<br>
has not the same meaning as in other places... Neverthless, they<br>
came from the print today, even if the oficial date is December 2001
:-)<br>
<br>
So, for the register, the titles and other details are as follow:<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Métodos Interactivos para o Planeamento e Desenvolvimento<br>
de Sistemas de Informação<br>
</b>Cadernos INA, nº 1<br>
Instituto Nacional de Administração<br>
2001<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Fundamentos da Metodologia de Reunião em Espaço Aberto<br>
</b>Cadernos INA, nº 2<br>
Instituto Nacional de Administracao<br>
2001<br>
<br>
The above title means "Foundations of ..." and, after checking
with Harrison,<br>
and as the word "technology" has a more reduced scope in
Portuguese, I have <br>
decided to translate OST as an equivalent to "Open Space Meeting
Metodology".<br>
Unfortunatelly I only have the portuguese version. I would like to have
also<br>
an English version and have your comments about the way I have
presented<br>
the "OST foundations" ;-)<br>
<br>
By the way, the publisher is the "Nacional Institute of
Administration",<br>
the official body for training in the Public Sector. As INA cooperates
largelly <br>
with the other portuguese speaking countries the booklets can be
obtained<br>
from them, for that purpose, probably for free (and no, I will not
receive more <br>
money for selling more books ;-) For Bernd in Moçambique and eventually
for <br>
others elsewhere, INA can be contacted at the adress:<br>
<br>
Palácio dos Marqueses de Pombal <br>
2784-540 Oeiras<br>
<br>
And if you want to have the Author's name as in printing please check

<br>
Best Regards<br>
