### Editor's Note ### Holiday greetings, friends!
Today we're publishing our final community article of 2018, and it's a great one. Ambassador Ron McFarland explains a step-by-step process for articulating your team or organization's purpose in a single sentence—great for community building. It's an awesome resource. Thanks, Ron! More than 500 eager readers have already downloaded their copies of _The Open Organization Leaders Manual, Second Edition_, released last week. Traffic to the community's newest release continues to be strong. Enjoy the holiday reading, everyone! We'll be taking a publishing hiatus as we observe the end-of-year holidays. Offices will close Friday, but we'll be back with more great open organization stories, analyses, and resources in early 2019. Stay tuned—and thanks to everyone for such an amazing year. –B ### New Today ### Ron McFarland: "How to craft a one-sentence description of your organization's purpose" https://opensource.com/open-organization/18/12/state-purpose-single-sentence red.ht/2P8MRSN Sample social media: Your organization's purpose drives it.
