PloneGov community

Across the world several million regions, cities and local governments are faced with the same situations and challenges in terms of e-government. So why not unite their efforts?

The project

We are creating a collaborative software ecosystem, where government organizations, non-profits and the private sector work together to share the cost of enhanced capabilities. The larger the community that shares the applications, the more potential benefits derived by each participant. Improvements to the software may be provided or funded by any organization. All participating organizations benefit from any one’s contributions at no additional cost and with no restrictions.

PloneGov success results from a close collaboration between public organizations, open source communities and Zea Partners, an international non-profit network for companies building open source solutions. Initiated by small towns, PloneGov is open to all type of collaborations.

Subcommunities

PloneGov brings together projects from different countries to develop collaborations in order to foster innovation. SubCommunities are independent projects or organizations having their own resources (name, team, budget, developers, code, projects, website and references in the Public Sector).
