To be honest, it is not that trivial to understand for a programmer either.<\/p>\n<p>But this is what we needed to do as part of our participation in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bcnparticipa.cat\/decidimjam\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JAM&#8217;17<\/a>\u00a0conference, where we led the discussions around the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/transparency-democracy-open-source-not-thought\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">democracy in open source projects<\/a>\u00a0and the <a href=\"https:\/\/modeling-languages.com\/add-a-governance-md-file-to-all-your-oss-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">governance model<\/a>\u00a0that the community (including everybody: users, contributors, funders,&#8230;) wanted to put in place to\u00a0make decisions around the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/decidim\/decidim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Decidim <\/a>project (<a href=\"https:\/\/decidim.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Decidim<\/a>\u00a0is a participatory democracy framework originally developed for the Barcelona City government online and offline participation website and now being used in a number of other cities and organizations).<\/p>\n<p>To help everybody understanding where in a Github-based development process decisions should be made and the relevance of each decision, my colleague <a href=\"http:\/\/jlcanovas.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Javier C\u00e1novas\u00a0<\/a>prepared the following infographic. Just to be clear, the goal was to make it as easy as possible to understand so we opted to highlight a simple development process, we are aware a real development process can be much more complex than this but you don&#8217;t probably want to scare your audience at the very beginning!.<a href=\"https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-118484\" src=\"https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-1024x724.png\" alt=\"GitHub-based development process\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-1024x724.png 1024w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-610x431.png 610w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-400x284.png 400w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english-1080x764.png 1080w, https:\/\/livablesoftware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/github-process-english.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(click on the image to download it with a a higher resolution)<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever tried to explain to a non-techie how software development works in GitHub (with the concepts of fork, branch, pull request, merge,&#8230;)?.
