The Decidim Free Software Association is a democratic association for the governance of the Decidim community.
Fast jeder partizipatorische Prozess, der an unseren Tisch gekommen ist, ist es uns gelungen, ihn nach den Geschäftsregeln von Decidim zu lösen. Als Werkzeug ist es ein sehr starkes Werkzeug. Der Teil, der uns jedoch am stärksten und am wichtigsten erscheint, ist seine Gemeinschaft, sowohl Entwickler als auch diejenigen, die es für partizipative Prozesse verwenden. Die Koexistenz mit ihnen hat uns veranlaßt, die Herausforderungen zu erkennen, die mit der Umsetzung der partizipatorischen Demokratie in der realen Welt verbunden sind.

Mit der Implementierung von Decidim in Som Energia haben wir einen freundlicheren Raum für Partizipation geschaffen. Wir haben das Tool 2018 freigegeben als Gastgeber der Generalversammlung der Genossenschaft und Monate später diskutierten wir das Image Redesign und die gemeinsame Entwicklung der Schule von Som Energia, unter anderen partizipatorischen Prozessen. In wenigen Monaten haben sich mehr als 3.500 Teilnehmer registriert, 5 Beteiligungsprozesse, Bei der letzten Generalversammlung stimmten 3 Versammlungen und mehr als 1.300 Stimmen.

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.
