[EN] Relationship with companies and their contribution to Decidim / [ES] Relación de empresas y su contribución a Decidim
[EN] In order to advance in the self-financing of Decidim we need to carry out a participatory process where the contribution criteria (economic, in code and practices) of the companies that work with Decidim are clarified. We propose that companies have a certificate of "companies with Decidim quality " (or similar) based on quality and contribution indicators. In the participatory process it must be specified if they must pay for the certificate, or if they must contribute X percentage of each project of Decidim that they obtain. It should also be specified how Decidim distributes the demand for instalation and services that it receives.

También debe concretarse cómo se distribuyen las peticiones de instalaciones que recibe Decidim"

While I'm all in for paying to pass a test / certification to attest of a certain quality of service around Decidim, because it's expensive for the association to design and maintain an accurate test.
I don't think applying some kind of tax "X percent of revenue generated by a Decidim project" is relevant since Decidim is an GPLv3 free software. Anyone can install it and there is no way to enforce such a tax, so it would have to be only based on voluntary contribution. It could be feasible though in the case the client is coming from the Decidim association, a percentage of price paid for the task or a fee could then go to the association.
I don't think anybody was thinking on any kind of tax. Only, eventually, to open a participatory process to see if, how much, how should companies contribute to have an "Official" certificate from the community.
Thanks for the clarification :)
I agree with the last part: "It could be feasible though in the case the client is coming from the Decidim association, a percentage of price paid for the task or a fee could then go to the association.".
