While I don't know the details, what I like conceptually about this effort is
that their tool is building off the open source Joomla platform. This seems
like a much more sustainable route than building stand alone software in the
e-democracy space. - Steven Clift

*Dear Steven, *
*Following the discussion we had in Krems I am sending you a small
description of the free eParticipation software we are providing.*
*It could be great if you could distribute it further*
*Gov2u is happy to present Gov2DemOSS light, which is a new version of
the award- winning Gov2DemOSS platform. Gov2DemOSS light is a much
simpler version and can be downloaded for free. It can prove to be
useful for municipalities and public authorities as it provides an
efficient channel for them to keep their communities informed, manage
their information repositories, interact directly with their citizens
and involve them in the decision making process. Gov2DemOSS platform
serves as a proof of concept of how ICT can facilitate communication,
knowledge sharing and modernization of government services. It is an
open source, customizable, informative and collaborative e-participation
platform. The Gov2DemOSS platform is now the most advanced platform of
its kind, awarded with the European Good practice Label in 2006, and
already being provided to local and regional authorities all over Europe
and North America.*
