Space in Basque and/or Spanish -- OF course! I don’t have a clue how
many different languages have been used so far. We do know that OS has been
used in 136 counties so there must be a whole bunch. If you check <a
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/">www.openspaceworld.org</a> you will find
information on some of those uses, including the 4 Principles and I Law in
multiple languages. It would be great add Basque (if it is not already there).
Spanish has been there for quite some time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Hello, hello!<br>
<br>
I just write some lines to tell you about my first Open Space experiences that
are taking place next days in Eibar and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bilbao</st1:place></st1:City>:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div style='margin-left:20.0pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>1. Tomorrow I'll be
facilitating an Open Space in Eibar. Some months ago I proposed "<a
href="http://ikastaroak.ueu.org/component/ikastaroak/ikastaro/47.html">Sormena
Espazio Irekian</a>" (meaning "Creativity in Open Space") as a
day and a half meeting about creativity, in which we will be opening space
tomorrow between 11:00 and 18:00, and this will be the main part of the
meeting.<br>
<br>
We will be keeping the OS in Basque language and I find it specially
fullfilling being so, as this kind of "avantguard" activity takes
seldom place in this ancestral but less used tongue of our country.<br>
<br>
2. The 9th of July I'll be facilitating OS again, this time at home, in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bilbao</st1:place></st1:City>. It'll be a one
day meeting to find financing alternatives for a group of about 6 people that
run 3 small freeware enterprises that deal with computer security,...
Their projects are facing finance troubles and have to rethink theim. They
should have good alternatives soon as, otherwise, they would be closing in
September. <br>
<br>
Regarding this OS, I wonder if opening space in Basque and Spanish language
would work OK and what I should take into account if I did so, something I'm
quite bended towards.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<div style='margin-left:20.0pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Ours is a diglosic community with everybody knowing Spanish. Around 50%
of potential comers are able to communicate in Basque. Having the space to do
so would be a kind surprise and inspiring for some of them. Having
to express themeselves in Spanish (one more time) would be the expected (and,
sometimes unconsciously, frustrating) thing for some of the comers,... Besides,
myself I'm someone that loves Basque language and doing stuff that helps it
reflourish...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><br>
I first knew about OS when I read <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Tom Atlee</st1:PersonName>'s
book "The Tao of Democracy" and it really stroke me. Some ten years have
passed since and recently I've decided to take it on and try it. Harrison's OST
book, all these fantastic people on the list-community ant the site itself are
great support to prepare something that is so much common sense, but so rare
these days.<br>
<br>
Whatever happens will be the only thing that could have happened, sure :-)!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
