The open source way

Opensource.com

Welcome to a new section on Opensource.com called The Open Organization. This will be a place where we can re-imagine the ways we collaborate, engage, and make decisions using the open source way in our organizations.

The Open Organization: Igniting Passion and Performance is a book about the ways Red Hat has applied open source principles to running a company. It aims to reshape the future of management and collaboration in companies and other organizations seeking to transform the way they do business.

The open organization is also about a collective of people; it's about a culture and a way of behaving and interacting with one another. And that’s one of the main purposes of the new section: to examine a different way of leading people, one that embraces transparency, authenticity, access, and openness.

As we always do on Opensource.com, we will highlight how the principles of open source influence the world around us. We will share your stories. Tell us how you're using what you’ve learned in The Open Organization to perpetuate change, become a 21st century leader, and influence your organization to embrace openness.

It’s our mission to collect and share the wisdom we generate in our open organizations. When you’re ready, submit your open organization story to us. Our team will be glad to review your proposal.

Until then, join our conversation in this new section or on social media using hashtag #TheOpenOrg, follow @OpenOrgBook on Twitter, and like the Facebook community.

To get started, we've created a new resource page: What is The Open Organization? We'll also provide a steady stream of articles to inform, educate, and make lasting connections.

As Jim Whitehurst said in a welcome note that helped launch Opensource.com more than five years ago: "It's good to have you here. Let's get started."
