PokeCode: Pioneering Open-Source Solutions for Smart Communities
PokeCode is a forward-thinking, free open-source technology consultancy dedicated to fostering digital sovereignty and community-driven innovation. Founded in June 2022 by Ivan Vergés and Pau Parals—both key figures in the Decidim Association—PokeCode specializes in providing high-quality services for the Decidim platform. Our mission extends beyond technology: we strive to build a better world through open-source collaboration, fair labor practices, and inclusive community engagement.
With deep roots in the Decidim project since 2018, our founders bring a wealth of technical expertise and community leadership. Ivan Vergés (github.com/microstudi)) has been a pivotal technical contributor, responsible for the first installation guide and ongoing core developments. Pau Parals (meta.decidim.org/profiles/paarals/activity)) is a recognized community advocate, ensuring the project thrives through collaboration and knowledge-sharing. As the first official partner of Decidim (https://decidim.org/partners/), PokeCode remains steadfast in its commitment to open-source principles, sustainability, and digital empowerment.
