I've received this request from the organization that I worked with at their international OS on Participatory development last year in Guelph. Can anyone help? You can contact Tanya directly at the email address bellow.
Apart from the Portuguese translation of the OST User's Guide that Harrison refered to (with a surprising title, by the way, but I will come to that below....), I have written some texts about OST and translated the most important terminology that I can send to Tanya if she is interested and contacts me. My email address is above - as it is also in my translation of Michael Herman's Introduction to OST in the Portuguese page of www.openspaceworld.org

The publisher is Novo Paradigma My Portuguese is a little rusty (non-existent) but I think you could get further information (copies) by checking www.w11editores.com.br Maybe???
Sorry, Harrison, bit it doesn't sound good to me :-((( I know that it is your book, so you have the right to accept any translation title... But the Users Guide is also the main reference for this community - any one of us can refer to the Guide and know that the others understand what one is talking about. From now on we will have to remember that if someone refers to "Productive Coffee Breaks" he may also be referring to the OST User's Guide. On the other hand when I read the Portuguese title I get the impression that the book is about how to organize "coffee breaks" that are "productive" (more coffee in less time, probably...). And by the way, "coffee break" translates to Portuguese (in Portugal as in Brasil or Moçambique)" as "intervalo de café". Sorry about that, Harrison.
