### Editor's Note ### Greetings, folks! We're back from our little Independence Day hiatus with a great story for you. This one's from educator Charlie Reisinger, who explains how he's fostering an open community of practice at the student-run IT help desk in his public school. It's part of the _Open Organization Guide for Educators_ project, which is coming along swimmingly.[1] Thanks, Charlie!
