The Means hosts its own polling and scheduling software (based on Framadate) that is available to members of The Means and the local public in English and Spanish.
With it, you can create an anonymous poll to figure out when to schedule a meeting or run a general opinion poll.
Framadate was chosen as the polling and scheduling software because of its heavy emphasis on user privacy. Framadate requires no names, no email, or any other identifying information, making it a valuable service for this community. All polls are completely and permanently deleted 30 days after the poll concludes. In addition, in Framadate's own words:
Framadate is free, without ads or click traps. Our goal is to host a tool that serves you and does not use you. Contrary to the adage, here, you are not the product.
Framadate collects as little data as possible. You have complete autonomy over it.
We have no interest in tracking your behaviour, nor in exploiting it.
