Making better decisions - or making decisions better - with Loomio

Submitted by James Samuel on 13 May 2012 - 8:21am | updated 13 May 2012 | Blog entry

For the last four months a team of volunteers has been working on a piece of free software called Loomio, which I think has huge potential to help grassroots groups increase their positive impact in the community.

Loomio is a free open-source web application that helps groups make better decisions together, and remarkably there is nothing else like it. The team is operating on a not-for-profit and open-source basis, and the aim over the coming two months is to get the software to the stage where it can be given away to non-profit groups, with support for how to use it.

If they can get a little bit of support, to put some food on the tables of the programmers, they'll be able to provide this free tool to groups like Transition Towns. They're now in the last few days of a PledgeMe* campaign, to raise enough money to allow two core volunteers to devote all of their time to this project for the next two months.

I am a Dunedin resident,‭ ‬I usually live on Quarantine Island but also own a house in North East Valley and spend some time there.‭  ‬Personally I use a variety of transport modes,‭ ‬often‭  ‬cycling in town and North East Valley,‭ ‬and on the lower road from Portobello to Dunedin,‭ ‬or on SH88‭ ‬from Port Chalmers to Dunedin.‭  ‬I‭  ‬also sometime use the busses on those routes,‭ ‬or travel as a passenger or very occasionally drive in from Portobello.‭  ‬There is one car in our household.‭  ‬We regularly visit Oamaru using the car,‭ ‬and I also travel on busses to Christchurch or Invercar
