What is Decidim?
Decidim is a Free Open-Source participatory democracy platform for cities and organizations. But Decidim is more than a digital platform: it’s a common's free and open project and infrastructure involving code, documentation, design, training courses, a legal framework, collaborative interfaces, user and facilitation communities, and a common vision.
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.
What do I need to install Decidim?
Installing Decidim is easy but you need some knowledge and technical requirements. See the documentation for installing Decidim.
