We must rush to get them ! http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_8603 The second Open Rights Group networking evening will be held 6-9pm, Tues 7 Feb 06, at 01Zero-One Hopkins Street (corner of Peter Street), Soho, London. Cory Doctorow will be speaking on the European Broadcast Flag, and there will be drinks and nibbles. The event is free, and you can read more about it and sign up on the wiki: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/orgwiki/index.php/Second_ORG_networking_evening http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_8170 Note: Mailman now fixed. :D http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_8153 We also have the ORG wiki: http://www.openrightsgroup.org/orgwiki/ And the ORG discussion list: http://list.openrightsgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/org-discuss (Note, the discussion list pages have gone a bit strange and show an error when you sign up at the moment. Don't worry - the sign up will have been successful and you'll be able to post to and receive posts from the list, it's just the display of the admin pages that's currently got a problem. Our web hosts are looking into it though.) http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_8151 Announcing version 1 of the supporter signup system and database! Whether you pledged to support this project or whether you didn't. We’ve now shaken our internal systems into a state where they might not be pretty, but they should work, and you can now follow through on your promise and support the project financially via paypal, standing order or cheque. https://secure.openrightsgroup.org/support/ Thank you all very much for helping us get this far. We now have much much more to do. Any questions, queries, bug reports or comments to supporters@openrightsgroup.org please. J. x http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7293 We are just finishing up a site for you to join and pay your subs online. We'll email everyone and leave a note here & on the ORG blog when it is ready. Should be very soon though. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7292 Yes, congratulations to everyone for making ORG a reality. Have the standing order details been sent out yet? If not, fine, but I wouldn't want to think ORG was waiting for money and its account number had fallen into my ISP's spam filter. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7213 Just saw Charles' comment about paying 10 years in advance and thought it sounded expensive. Calculated it... less than the cost of a desktop PC for ten whole years of donations! For hiring a 2-person full-time team, this really is very good value. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7207 Congratulations, well done, and good luck with today's event. It's very nice indeed to see this getting off the ground. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7205 Cheers and congratulations from those of us organising what will become the UK Wikimedia organisation! Now tell me where to send my money ... http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7199 On the various "splitters" comments, I'm from UKCDR, and I support ORG and this pledge. To explain why, I wrote a long blog post: http://flatline.org.uk/archives/000022.html http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7182 Ben - see www.openrightsgroup.org for a bit more information about what we're doing. We're not trying to replicate what anyone else is doing, so you won't find us suddenly starting a 'no to id cards' campaign, unless it was to be in conjunction with and at the behest of No2ID. We do, however, help other organisations get press coverage, and so far have done so for Privacy International, EDRi, and Digital Rights Ireland. And we haven't even started properly yet! Thank you to everyone who has pledged. Today is our first ever ORG event, which I look forward to seeing some of you at. And very, very soon we will be sending you details about how to become a Founding 1000 ORG Member. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7181 1002! Huzzah! Congrats to everyone involved. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7178 There is plenty of action internationally, and no need to reinvent the wheel on a lot of this. Consolidation and strategic direction for the UK would be two cost-effective short-term goals. Create or join local and international networks with the pledge goals would also be relatively cheap and form a good basis for a series of direct actions. 3 strands - partnerships, monitoring, pro-active mobilisation? http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7130 thanks ben http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7126 www.emint.org is the association of community professionals so start there. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7125 someone is currently planning to sue me for a comment made about them on my community blog website. I need help. can anyone recommend a source? thanks, opaz http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7121 Benjamin, ORG will campaign for individual civil liberties in the digital domain, and against the legislative power grabs by both government, business cartels and so on. Have a read of the http://openrightsgroup.org site for the current issues, and go along to the event on Tuesday to speak out. http://www.pledgebank.com/rights#comment_7119 Hello Mr O'Brian, I really do not understand what your pledge stands for. "I will create a standing order of 5 pounds per month to support an organisation that will campaign for digital rights in the UK but only if 1,000 other people will too." — Danny O'Brien Do you mean that you'll support an organisation which pushes for digital rights to big business and other unelected NGO groups under the flag of DRM, DMCA plus the type of thing Mr Clarke (UK HO)is silently pushing for; or do you represent an idea to control the wishlist such groupings have been requesting, in some cases gaining. Please could you clarify.
