Welcome to the March 2018 Open Organization Ambassadors Report!
March was an excellent month for our community. We published nine
articles at Opensource.com, and ambassadors contributed four of those.
All open organization content generated a total of 16,558 page views,
and readers downloaded 300 copies of books in the _Open Organization_
book series. The message is spreading.
Please read on for a recap of our awesome March, updates on ambassador
activities all over the globe, and a preview of what's in store for April.
Editorially yours,
Bryan
