Sitra is organizing a hackathon in collaboration with the Finnish open‑source Voxit community, and it is sponsored by the German Bertelsmann Stiftung foundation.
In Finland, the participation platform known as Voxit is still generally referred to elsewhere in Europe as the Polis platform, which is its original name.
The Voxit hackathon marks the starting point for collaboration among European frontrunners who have worked with different Voxit/Polis variants. The goals of the hackathon are to establish shared principles of cooperation, initiate the transition to a joint European code repository, agree on ethical guidelines, and deepen collaboration in deployment, training, support, and other activities.
The hackathon is an invitation‑only event. In addition to participants from Finland, attendees from several other European countries are expected.
The goal of the Voxit Hackathon is to establish shared practices and guidelines for deepening European collaboration on the long‑term development of the Voxit/Polis participation platform.
During the hackathon, work will begin on transitioning to a joint European code repository, agreeing on the ethical guidelines to be followed by the European Voxit community, and strengthening cooperation in areas such as deployment, training, support, and other operational functions.
