Gov2DemOSS

Description:
Gov2DemOSS is an open source, generic, informative and collaborative e-participation platform. The most advanced platform of its kind, Gov2DemOSS allows institutions/organizations (e.g. different level legislative bodies, interest groups, campaigns, etc) inform their constituencies of issues under debate and allows for citizens' participation in the decision-making process. Gov2DemOSS provides a user-friendly channel for elected officials to interact directly with their constituents, and vice versa. Elected officials have the possibility to keep constituents abreast of news and upcoming events and to gauge public opinion by posting polls and topics for deliberation. Via the discussion forums, citizens (registered users) are able to view topics under discussion at any particular time, to access related documents, express their views accordingly and to cast their vote in featured polls. The platform contains a wealth of other features to facilitate information sharing and dialogue, including an events calendar, personal messaging and email. The generic nature of the platform means that the software can be extensively customized to suit the respective needs of each individual administrator.
