Welcome to the September 2018 Open Organization Ambassadors Report!
September was a packed and productive month for the community. We
published four new articles, and overall our materials generated 13,824
page views at Opensource.com. We also saw 248 total downloads of the
volumes in the _Open Organization_ book series.
As we cruise swiftly into the final quarter of the calendar year, we're
hard at work on several projects and initiatives. Read on to see what
the ambassadors are up to!
Editorially yours,
Bryan

#### {4} Monthly Highlights ####
################################
The community-produced, second edition of _The Open Organization Leaders
Manual_ passed another significant milestone in September, as all
authors began work on revisions to their contributions. Book cover
design is underway (!!), and authors are currently polishing their work
for the book's December 2018 release. Work continues transparently on
GitHub [1].

Speaking of the _Leaders Manual_, have you logged your suggestions for
the new edition's subtitle? A revised book needs a revised tagline—so
swing by the project and share your suggestions [2].

#### {5} Looking Ahead ####
###########################
The next meeting of the Open Organization Ambassadors will occur on
Thursday, October 11. The meeting is currently schedule for 10:00
Eastern / 14:00 UTC; however, the time of day change as ambassadors are
currently voting on revisions to the monthly meeting cadence. In the
meantime, the meeting agenda is open and available for additions and
updates [1].

Slated for October is some excellent new writing from ambassadors
Allison Matlack, Jen Kelchner, and Heidi Hess von Ludewig! Curious about
what's ahead? You can always view our editorial queue online [2].
