Welcome to the November 2017 Open Organization Ambassadors Report!
November was another solid and inspiring month for the open organization
community at Opensource.com. Altogether, we published 8 new articles
about open work, open leadership, and open culture—and each article came
to us from a different author. Overall, open organization materials at
Opensource.com generated 15,015 page views. The next volume in the Open
Organization book series, _The Open Organization Workbook_, cleared
another significant milestone on its path to a December 14 release.
In short: Our community is doing some downright amazing work. Read on to
learn more about everything the Open Organization Ambassadors are
accomplishing.
See you one more time in 2017!
