Hi all!
We’re holding a workshop on creating—all attendees together—a hypothetical software product that would help us make collective decisions.
There is a lot of prior art in this domain of collective/democratic decision making and I’m sure most people in this forum have lots of ideas on the topic so it’d be interesting to see what we can think and brainstorm on this matter.
Our example usecase will be for a local London neighbourhood with a population of 100 to 1000 persons.
The event is happening at Newspeak House ([https://www.nwspk.com/](https://www.nwspk.com/)) in Shoreditch / London.
- Address: 133 Bethnal Green Rd, London E2 7DG
- Date: Tue, Feb 15th, 2022
- Time: 7pm

Hi @sirodoht sounds exciting, unfortunately won’t be able to join… What are your inspirations? Is [https://pol.is/home](https://pol.is/home) one of them?

Hey [Szczepan](https://community.coops.tech/u/SzczepanOfAnimorph)! I know Polis but have never seen it in action. Another I had in mind is loomio, but the general idea is to explore the space of what we can do a bit more!
