Hi,
📖 Decidim Book: A Gift to Celebrate Our Birthday
Today we turn 7 years old! On February 1st, 2017, Decidim was born, a free software project with a community involved in its governance, and which today has become a digital public good recognized by the DPGA, extended to over 30 countries and with more than 3 million participants.
After 7 years of work, we present our book: "Decidim, a Technopolitical Network for Participatory Democracy", detailing every aspect of the project: its principles, practices, and future challenges, sparking a crucial debate about democracy in the digital age. This book is not only a useful tool for the uncertain present, but also to face the major global democratic challenges of the coming decades.
Just like everything in Decidim, this book is published under a free copyleft license, reflecting its open nature. We hope it continues to evolve and enrich itself with the collective intelligence of its community.
Read the post we wrote to celebrate its release here.
