BADIL is a community-driven initiative built around the belief that real change begins with shared moral responsibility, transparency, and collective decision-making.
We are not yet a registered entity — we are a group of people coming together to experiment with new forms of democratic organization, powered by technology and guided by shared principles.
- Establish a Decidim platform for open participation and democratic decision-making.
- Create a transparent and documented foundation for our movement’s growth.
- Build internal collaboration tools (GitHub, Drive, etc.) to organize our work.
- Define roles and assemblies for community self-governance.
- Spread awareness about ethical, decentralized, and transparent governance.
- Build a community-governed digital ecosystem where trust is encoded, accountability is transparent, and collaboration replaces exploitation. See the full vision in VISION.md.
- Phase One focus:
- Build the platform for democratic participation and collaboration.
- Form a transparent association governed by the platform itself.
- Prove the model with real projects, partnerships, and services.
- 🛠️ BADIL Works — Ethical workspace for developers, designers, and innovators to deliver useful projects transparently and fairly.
- 🏗️ BADIL Systems — Modular governance tooling offered ethically to communities and organizations that want transparent decision-making.
- 📊 BADIL Insights — Truthful, consent-based analytics that turn community voices into responsible, human-centered insight.
- Morality before profit
- Transparency by default
- Community ownership
- Decentralized power
- Accountability in code
- Education and inclusion
- Anti-speculation
- Reinvestment into moral and social development
For context and rationale, read the BADIL IT manifesto.
- Launch BADIL Works with one pilot project (proof of ethical collaboration).
- Release the first version of the BADIL Platform and use it to manage the association transparently.
- Onboard the first 100 members through purpose-driven participation and contribution.

BADIL means alternative — a new way to organize society, projects, and governance.
We are building not just software or ideas, but a living proof of collective intelligence guided by moral principles.
