Dear Park, I am deeply touched by your words on many reasons. You have described so beautifully the vision I had in 1999. Yes, it was an unbelievable thrilling momentum, as I saw so clearly how the software (bouquet of ingredients, structure, process and quality criteria) has to be realized and how important a virtually-led Real-Time OpenSpace-Online Meeting Tool will become one day for so many organizations, interest groups and change facilitators around the globe. Thank you very much for your warm words - this is doing good to my soul :) Especially because my small team and I were so busy with developing the second software edition during the last two years. Very soon the hard and long work on the new software will be completed. I look very much forward to share more about this achievement soon.
I am also touched by the timing of your question, because this summer or latest this fall I want to start together with wonderful friends and supporters a special OpenSpace-Online Initiative. With this project we want to include also financial sponsors (for the very first time). The initiative will have to do also with the middle-term goal to enable the use of our English software (version 2.0) with almost all world languages and with the additional goal to create completely translated software versions for many other languages later. I have this dream since so many years, therefore our software was and is developed in a way that it will allow such technical upgrading. Until then, the software can be used (like it was during the last 5 years) around the globe by just choosing one of 16 different computer language-settings. As soon as the initiative will have a good first basis to start I will be very happy to share more information with all of you. I trust, that many people and financial supporters will love this initiative. Park, thank you so much for sharing your dreams! I deeply appreciate your great idea and passion. I have put your name and your country with much joy on our "friends and supporters list". I wish you much joy and success in holding space for Open Space in Korea and beyond!

I trust that your Virtual Open Space software will evolve into a planetary jewel that would save humankind from many formidable dillemmas, challenges, and disasters such as global warming, hunger, terror, and so on by helping people of many, many organizations open their space of understanding and actions. I'd like thank you for crafting the inspirational masterpiece and I'd like to discuss with you on localizing the interface of VOS for Korean audience. I'd like to know things involved to pursue this idea. So thrilling it is just to imagine a time where people of the world discussing and planning actions using VOS as the tool that facilitate realization of the dream. I want to be the first one who makes VOS available in local language (Aisian languages)to proliferate use of the tool. I would be looking forward to receiving your reply and also like to spark off dialogs on this matter. As virtual space will be becoming rutine experience, VOS will become more and more important, so is the need for local language VOS. Looking forward to hearing from you and others who feel passion and responsibility.

We got informed that our company was selected by a jury to be "Gr?Partner" (Founder-Partner) for PARTNER for BERLIN. During an entrepreneur party at the fair "Deutsche Gr? und Unternehmertage" (German founders and entrepreneur days) we were welcomed as one of nine new founder partners. The award included a two years free membership in a network of about 120 very big national and international companies, including special kinds of support. Partner for Berlin is working together with the Berliner Senat in a so-called "public private partnership". They are responsible for the Capital Marketing of Berlin. The network-partners are interested in a future-oriented development of Berlin. This organization supports Berlin in the fields of economy, science, culture and sports. Partner for Berlin looked for young companies existing at least for one year. They had to be innovative, technology oriented and already successfully positioned on the market.
