Read the full report for more details. ## Community Publications The Open Organization community published the following materials: - Sim Zacks: [Want to make better decisions? Encourage disagreement]( https://opensource.com/open-organization/20/9/make-decisions-encourage-disagreement ) - Heidi Hess von Ludewig: [Overcoming resistance to open management]( https://opensource.com/open-organization/20/9/overcoming-resistance-open-management ) - Sim Zacks: [Getting credit: Taking your place in a meritocracy]( https://opensource.com/open-organization/20/9/getting-credit-meritocracy ) - Ron McFarland: [What would a global open organization look like?]( https://opensource.com/open-organization/20/9/global-open-organization) ## Monthly Highlights - The [new Open Organization community forum](theopenorganization.community) is now open. In September, Open Organization Ambassadors agreed to make the project's Discourse platform its default communication channel, reserving the ``openorg- list`` mailing list for occasional community announcements. Anyone is now welcome to create an account, read [our terms]( https://www.theopenorganization.community/c/discourse-discussion-documentation/5 ), and engage with the community on Discourse. - The Open Organization project's new website is now out of beta and **live** at ``theopenorganization.org``. Community members have been working on the new site since the summer, and are pleased to finally debut the project's new showcase on the web. Got feedback? Found a bug? Please [file an issue]( https://github.com/open-organization/open-organization.github.io/issues )! - Contributor @trncb has graciously agreed to [assist with proofreading]( https://www.theopenorganization.community/t/september-10-2020-meeting/149/2?u=bryan ) community articles, books, and marketing collateral. We're delighted to have his help! ## Looking Ahead - The next Open Organization Ambassadors meeting will occur on October 08, 2020, at 09:00 Eastern / 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET.
