Actually -- Brazil should not be off the list, I am pretty sure. The name escapes me, but perhaps the guilty party will surface. And if there is no current practice (practitioners) there, The Book has preceded them. Somebody "down there" thought enough of Open Space to have the book translated into (Brazilian) Portuguese. I even have a copy. But of course, I can't read a word. Artur -- where are you when we need you ?????

Have a look at http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/ where you will now find 72 open space-workers in 23 countries (I imagine that colleagues from the other 83 countries will eventually include themselves, too) Maybe Brazilians haved been living in open space all along and there has been no need for the technology. Just been reading "Maverick" bei Ricardo Semler (Warner Business Books) who reports on the very exciting transformation of his Semco company in Brazil back in the early nineties without ever saying a word about ost.
