webdelib: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

webdelib is software for managing the decision-making of a local authority: council deliberations, orders and decisions, from drafting to archiving. It tracks projects through an integrated workflow, numbers acts automatically and manages sessions, including electronic voting and convocations. Agendas and minutes are produced from customisable templates. According to the publisher, it is a common tool for every department that produces acts, and it connects to tools such as pastell, iparapheur, S²LOW and asalae.

webdelib is published by Libriciel SCOP, a French cooperative in Castelnau-le-Lez that makes free business software for the public sector. Its employees hold more than 98% of the share capital, so there is no foreign parent company. According to the Comptoir du Libre catalogue, webdelib is licensed under the CeCILL licence (v2). Libriciel also offers hosting and management, but the pages consulted do not state where its servers are located. If you install webdelib on your own infrastructure, your data stays with you.

Why digital sovereignty matters with webdelib

webdelib is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

webdelib runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

webdelib is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs webdelib together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
