Sorry, Harrison. But I only have the time in these days to read one OSLIST post per day, and yesterday I have chosen Lisa's one. Only later I understood that the point began with a diferent thread. But yes, Brasil is America, too... And, no, as far as I know there are not OST practitionners in Brasil. There are some people interested in OST but have not done anyone. There is at least one that have done something using Gabriela's SW, but it was not really OST, IMHO. And of course there is Lisa's "Brasilian project team" -that will have results some day... probably when we will be pretty old. An interesting point I have surfaced sometime ago is that OST has this in commom with capitalism - is more related with the protestant ethic ;-) I mean, latin countries, mainly Chatolic, are not very simpatetic to the idea of "openess". They must always have "someone in charge" (the Pope, I presume...). Regards Artur PS: Michael, I also red your post ;-) I will see what I can do to your map when I have some free time * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
