We’re a young organisation with an evolving structure. Our guiding principle is that the LocalGov Drupal should be run by councils for the benefit of participating councils and their citizens.
We have four groups responsible for different aspects of the project, each with many smaller teams that work on specific tasks.
The Product Group is responsible for:
- product governance and process
- setting the product roadmap and release dates
- releasing quality standards
- compiling user research
The Technical Group is responsible for:
- leading on technical direction and architecture
- leading on development processes and coding standards
- security reviews and maintenance
- guidelines for committers
- resolving any disputes or issues related to the code
- creating documentation for new features
The Open Digital Cooperative board is responsible for:
- Ensuring the financial sustainability of the project
- Working with the Core Team to ensure the project functions
- exercising oversight of all strategic aspects of the project
The Core Team is responsible for:
- managing day-to-day activities
- delivering contracted work
- enacting the strategic plan
Decision making
To ensure we are as inclusive as possible and actively listen to the diverse voices within LocalGov Drupal, we use an innovative, systematic approach to decision-making. This is loosely based on sociocratic decision-making, and aims to make all meetings as efficient, democratic and effective as possible.
If you would like to find out more or have any questions, just drop us a line at hello@localgovdrupal.org. We are always happy to chat about LocalGov Drupal, provide a demo of the platform, or show how councils are using it.
