### Editor's Note ### Well hello there, good people! Another Tuesday, another great open organization article for you and yours. This one comes from Red Hat president and CEO Jim Whitehurst, who explains the critical difference between "the unknown" and "the unknowable"—and advises open leaders on how to approach both these variables when making plans for the future. Hope you enjoy.
