Software that compliments Loomio

JG Jacob Gadikian Public Seen by 368

I've a list ,and I'd love it if people could add to it as they see fit:

  • Loomio
  • Swarmops
  • Metamind.cc
  • Discourse
  • Diaspora
  • Valnet
  • Cobudget
  • Hylo
  • DemocracyOS
  • Polis
  • Odoo ** CRM ** ERP ** Web sites ** Tasks, collabware, expansive!
  • ArkOS.io

Now, I do not know of any program that does what loomio does, as well as loomio does. What are your needs like in terms of programming? It's pretty likely that it won't just be Dan and I here for much longer, and at that time, we'd love to help. Sorry about the docker-- with our HW release coming up, I haven't had time to take care of it just yet. The reason I am asking this is that I would like to have a survey of the marketplace in apps that are useful to business/activisim organizations using a modular, network configuration.

Best,

-Jake

PS:

Does anyone have a name/category for "The kind of application that these are" determined yet?

FOSS is best indeed. Thanks for the information Ananna :)!

Group decision making software ?

@matthewbartlett
Can you tell me what is good about hipchat? I ask because I positively hate it, not on a philosophical level but instead on a functional level.

Also Dawn is still chasing that holy grail of web apps: anyone know the best replacement for google apps?

By the way I was nowhere near descriptive about dawns hardware in my earlier post. It is a "stick PC" whose mission in life is not to be a stick PC, but instead to run localized apps. I'd like to put loomio on one, sell it, and split the proceeds between our causes. Interested?

@jacobgadikian re. Hipchat: I often work remotely from other Loomio team members, and I like being able to e.g. ask questions of them and get a quick answer, whether I'm at my computer or via my phone. I find the notifications style works well for me — @mentions that send an email if the person is not online. I like the integrations (with e.g. Github, Travis, Airbrake), so I can get a bit of sense of what's happening with our codebase.

Our web site was down for a good portion that this proposal was open. I am going to run the vote again, once I get it back up. Thanks!

So okay we've got all of this group decision-making/accounting/value allocation software. I've got this stick(fenixer.org), that I fancy as a server. I'd like to do what the title suggests, and give half of the proceeds to the software developers. I see this useful in these cases, and probably others I haven't thought of:

-Advocacy
-Small business
-Governance
-"swarm" politics
-"Swarm" information campaigns
-Event planning

I think that this is a simple yes or no. I just want to have consent from the community before I go and sell their awesome open code.

I think it sounds pretty rad. I hope there's also a way to provide it for free to users who really need it.

I believe Loomio could use a revenue source and the world could be helped by such a tool.
