The first Autumn of Projects (AuP) was held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, between September 21st and 27th, 2009.

This was also the first Special Edition (SE).

• Regular Project events are held up to four times per year (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter).
• Special Editions are either held in-between the regular Projects (not to be mistaken for Follow-Ups) or are applied to regular Projects under special circumstances.

The 2009 AoP edition was hosted by Cintha.

This AoP was a Special Edition because it had been added to a trip earlier planned by Andre instead of the trip being made specifically for the AoP. It was a last-minute decision to create this AoP after taking into consideration recent developments which prohibited any further delay.

Topics included:

• Creative and Executive Crowdsourcing
• Social Publishing Platform evaluation and integration
