Welcome to the March 2019 Report! What a great month it's been.
In March, the open organization community at Opensource.com published
five new articles, two of which came from ambassadors. Overall, our
materials generated 15,090 page views, and volumes in the _Open
Organization_ book series received 221 downloads.
The community is currently hard at work on several concurrent projects,
including two curated article series. Read on to learn more about what
the Open Organization Ambassadors are up to—and what you can do to get
involved!
Editorially yours,
Bryan

The open organization community is still curating two article series:
one on "the open organization in education" and one on "the open
organization and cognitive diversity." Anyone with something to say on
either of these topics is most certainly invited to contribute. Reach
out to Bryan or an open organization ambassador to get started.[1]

"The We Are Open Co-op [1] has capacity, and we're currently taking on
new clients. So if anyone needs help with just about anything involving
open principles, edtech, culture, diversity, activism, storytelling, or
just flat out brainy goodness, they're very welcome to shoot us a note.[2]"

Michael Doyle writes:
"I've got an idea of interviewing open leaders to talk about one time
they faced an uncertain decision and how 'open' helped them work through
it. I'll need to do one pilot to see if what I have in my head
translates into interesting and useful content for the audience. The
output format would be a video of less than three minutes in length.
I've also been working on an article that was something I wanted to
write about back in 2015; fortunately the content is still relevant. I
call it the '6 keys to cross functional project success' and it is based
on interviewing stakeholders and project teams from four cross
functional projects that stalled."
