Set up a decision making tool for Code for All #1

Open ondrae opened 10 years ago

ondrae commented 10 years ago

Description

At the first annual Code for All meeting, we were having a discussion about how our group should make decisions. There is an app for that! Actually three.

  1. DemocracyOS out of Argentina.
    • Its beautifully designed.
    • They started a political party!
    • Seems very user friendly.
    • Pia and her team are cool.
  2. Loomio out of New Zealand.
    • New design and architecture coming soon.
    • They are used a bunch in local NZ councils.
    • They are big supporters of CfA.
  3. Adhocracy
    • More robust, you can delegate your vote to an expert.
    • @ddie says it might be more complicated than we need.

      Tasks

    • [ ] Choose a service to try first.
    • [ ] Set up an instance under the codeforall.org url
    • [ ] Try it out for one vote. If we don't like it, try another service.

Let's start at the top of the list. I've forked the DemocracyOS app, @ondrae are you able to select a hosting provider? I'll then go ahead and get the install done.

@ondrae will you set up all these three services in your(code for america) server?

I've got a half broken version of DemocracyOS up at http://cfall-democracyos.herokuapp.com/ Its managed almost entirely through environment variables. Let me know your heroku email and I'll give you access to it.

I had to butcher it to get it to run.

I've also set up a Code for All group in Loomio. https://www.loomio.org/g/54uKarNR/code-for-all

They have a big redesign coming soon.

Sure thing, heroku email is chris@creativecontrol.com.au

ondrae commented 10 years ago

You're in. To add yourself as an admin use the STAFF heroku variable. heroku config:set STAFF='andrewh@codeforamerica.org,chris@creativecontrol.com.au'

Then you can access http://cfall-democracyos.herokuapp.com/admin

Done!

If you're interested, we also struggled with finding good online consensus systems, but eventually compiled that list.

How are your DemocracyOS and Loomio experiments going?
