What OpenSlides actually does
OpenSlides is a presentation and assembly system designed for managing and projecting agendas, motions, and elections during formal meetings. It provides a centralised platform to organise assembly procedures and display relevant information to participants in real time. The software operates under the MIT licence.
Best fit: It is well-suited for organisations, associations, or committees that need a dedicated tool to run structured assemblies, handle live voting, and manage meeting documentation.
Worth knowing: The codebase has a moderate maintenance health score, meaning you should evaluate whether the update frequency and community size meet your long-term stability requirements.
Deployment notes
Because it is distributed as a Docker container, deployment typically involves setting up persistent volumes for data storage and configuring a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
