I did read (and partly reread) the book you mention and enjoyed it. Harrison, I feel honoured to have your answer and would like to clarify, if "that name can be a problem" is concerning the "Open Space" or the translation?
I think the names "Open Space" and "Open Space Technologie" are in current use and well understood in English. The problems I felt when translating them to "continental european" namely Portuguese where two: - first in latin languages "techology" as a much less broader sense that in English; - second "Open Space" (without the Technology) can be said about any space that is open (comercial, open air, etc). So in the Portuguese translation I have adopted the (portuguese equivalent to) "Meeting Methodology in Open Space (Open Space Technology)". In the Fench translation I have used the canadian name that adds "Forum" to Open Space instead of technologie. I don't know hungarian but hope this can help in your "translation" Regards Artur PS: I think that when Elwin suggested to you not to use the name OS or OST up front, he was thinking about his experience of selling the idea to the main contractor of development projects in the balkans. From talks I had with him in berlin, I think he was not suggesting that you change the name - only to begin presenting it as one way to help devellopment by the best "large group conference facilitating method" you know (that, by the way is OST).
