DEEP EXPERTISE & REAL PARTNERSHIPSbuilt for communities that govern themselves.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT COMMUNITY-LED GOVERNANCE SHOULD LOOK LIKE.“When we set out to build a proper home for Mautic's community governance, we knew we needed a partner who understood not just the technology but the values underneath it. In Octree we found both. Their team brought a depth of Decidim knowledge that would have taken us a long time to build ourselves, and they paired it with genuine care for what we were trying to achieve as a volunteer-led open source project.
What has stood out most in our work together is the partnership.
Octree have been responsive, collaborative and patient with a community that makes decisions collectively rather than through a single voice. They helped us shape community.mautic.org into a space that now carries some of the most important moments in our community life, from our annual council elections, roadmap and the Mautic Awards through to team meetings and the everyday work of assemblies where contributors propose ideas and shape the direction of the project together. That is exactly what community-led governance should look like.
Beyond the platform itself, what I value most is that Octree share our commitment to open source and digital independence. They are not simply a supplier, they understand how the open source world works, they contribute back to Decidim itself, and they take the time to work directly with our community. For any open source project looking to give their community a real seat at the table, I would recommend Octree warmly.”
