The Decidim Free Software Association is a democratic association for the governance of the Decidim community.
Dank Decidim ist es uns in Barcelona gelungen, gemeinsam mit den Bürgern einen strategischen Stadtplan zu erarbeiten. 2016 haben wir den Stadtaktionsplan in Form eines partizipatorischen Prozesses durch Decidim Barcelona eröffnet. Derzeit umfasst dieser Plan fast 7 000 Vorschläge für Bürger. Einer der Vorteile der Nutzung dieser Plattform besteht darin, dass Sie jederzeit den Stand der Umsetzung der angenommenen Vorschläge überwachen können.

The process started in October 2019 at the European Commission’s DG Communication and eDemocracy unit at the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's science and knowledge service. An analysis of the needs of the Conference and which tools fit those, lead to choosing the open source tool Decidim for its technical maturity, broad community and adaptability.

We suffer under a lack of public space. It's particularly important that we reclaim these public spaces for us. Open platforms such as Decidim do exactly that. Is not only that is open source so other people can fork it, reuse it and build a process. It also has these values that we want to reflect in our society encoded in the way it's designed.
