## {1} Editor's Notes
Fall is upon us here in the U.S., and this season of change will
certainly be the open organization community's busiest. We wasted no
time kicking it off, as we just published the newest addition to the
_Open Organization_ book series, _The Open Organization Guide for
Educators_. On top of that, our very first multimedia series is in the
works, and our community is gearing up for the All Things Open
conference in Raleigh.
In September, the open organization community published four new
articles, and our materials generated 15,559 page views. Moreover, books
in the _Open Organization_ series received 583 downloads.
Read on to learn more about the community's successes this month.
Editorially yours,
Bryan

## {5} Looking Ahead
- The October meeting of the Open Organization Ambassadors will occur
October 24 at 09:00 Eastern / 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CET. Ambassadors are
welcome to shape the agenda.[1]
- October will see the release of the open organization community's very
first multimedia series. Chronicling the story of Open Organization
Ambassador Laura Hilliger's impact at Greenpeace International, the
series combines text, video, and audio to help audiences understand the
power and potential of working openly. The series debuts globally on
October 08.
- The Open Organization Ambassadors will convene for an in-person
workshop on October 13 when several community members will be in Raleigh
for the All Things Open conference. At the half-day event, ambassadors
will conduct preliminary 2020 community planning and resource
brainstorming. Ambassadors not in town for the event can still
participate remotely, as we'll be broadcasting the entire event.[2]
