Cine este în spatele platformei?
Metadecidim is the community that collaborates in the design of the platform and the development of the project. Together we design and create new features and report bugs for continuous improvement of the platform.
The Decidim Free Software Association is a democratic association for the governance of the Decidim community.
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.

Part of what makes Decidim so powerful is that it adds a level of abstraction to the work separating out the steps of a process and the activities associated with the process. That’s part of the information architecture, so that not only you are saying what is happening at each step but different parts of Decidim behave differently depending on when you are doing or depending on what step in the process you are in. The fact that that’s customizable really allows Decidim to be moulded to how we are doing our work and not our work to be moulded.

Aproape fiecare proces participativ care a ajuns la masa noastră, am reuşit să îl rezolvăm folosind regulile de afaceri ale Decidim. Ca instrument, este unul foarte puternic. Cu toate acestea, partea care ni se pare cea mai puternică şi cea mai importantă este comunitatea sa, atât dezvoltatorii, cât şi cei care o folosesc pentru procesele participative. Coexistenţa cu acestea ne-a făcut să apreciem provocările pe care le implică punerea în aplicare a democraţiei participative în lumea reală.

Întrebări frecvente
What does it mean that Decidim is for free, "libre" and open source?
Decidim is a platform for citizen participation made by the people and for people. Its source code is open and can be inspected, modified, and enhanced by anyone. The Decidim software is covered by the AGPL license. That means that you can use it, modify it and redistribute derived versions of it as long as you respect the AGPL license.
Dorim să încheiem un acord formal de colaborare. Există vreun model pe care îl putem folosi?

What is the Social Contract?
That's how we call our Code of Democratic Guarantees and Democratic Collaboration. All members of the community must endorse the Social Contract.
Can I join the Metadecidim community even if I don't live in Barcelona?
Of course you can. People do so through participatory processes, debates, translations, etc. that you might find in Metadecidim. Decidim was born in Barcelona and that is why there is a strong territorial bond with this city, but above all, it's a project for the commons.
