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.
Pràcticament cada procés participatiu que ens ha arribat, l'hem pogut resoldre utilitzant les regles de negoci de Decidim. És una eina molt potent. No obstant això, la part que ens sembla més forta i important és la seva comunitat, tant de desenvolupadores com d'aquelles persones que la utilitzen per a processos participatius. Conviure amb aquesta comunitat ens ha fet dimensionar els desafiaments que comporta implementar la democràcia participativa en el món real.

La plataforma digital Decide Mèrida va ser una oportunitat que va obrir com mai els mecanismes de participació ciutadana per a l'elaboració del Pla Municipal de Desenvolupament de Mèrida 2018-2021. Vam tenir més de 3 mil interaccions ciutadanes entre propostes, comentaris, suggeriments i suports que van donar lloc al major consens possible sobre què és el millor per a la nostra ciutat. Sens dubte, la plataforma Decide Mèrida continuarà sent la nostra aliada per a fer de Mèrida una societat cada dia més participativa.

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.
