Who’s behind the platform?
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.
Proces byl zahájen v říjnu 2019 na oddělení Evropské komise pro komunikaci a elektronickou demokracii ve Společném výzkumném středisku, což je vědecká a znalostní služba Evropské komise. Analýza potřeb konference a toho, které nástroje jim odpovídají, vedla k výběru open source nástroje Decidim pro jeho technickou vyspělost, širokou komunitu a přizpůsobivost.

Díky Decidim se nám v Barceloně podařilo společně s občany vytvořit strategický plán města. V roce 2016 jsme prostřednictvím Decidim Barcelony zahájili akční plán ve formě participačního procesu. V současné době tento plán obsahuje téměř 7 tisíc občanských návrhů. Jednou z výhod používání této platformy je, že můžete kdykoli sledovat stav provádění schválených návrhů.

Jsme si vědomi toho, že je vybudována s ohledem na demokracii, a proto je demokracie velkým zaměřením. Jádrem návrhu jsou demokratické principy, jako je zodpovědnost, rovnost a transparentnost.
