Sizzling Surveillances, Batman - Join the ORG Board!

The Open Rights Group is looking for new Board members (closing date for applications: Tuesday 28 October). As one of the current board I've blogged before about the necessity & effectiveness of ORG (BISH! to copyright term extension and BASH! to e-voting) - since then, ORG has been even more active in protecting our digital civil liberties. Recent top picks include

• online advocacy (ask your MEPs to vote for Telecom package amendments)
• creative photo-actions (Freedom Not Fear: the Big Picture unveiled on Parliament Square)
• open culture & business events (Open Source for Games Developers - A Debate on New Business Models) 

I'm happy to spend most of my time working on the cool ways that the Internets can be used to make a better world, but we all need to wake up to the multiple threats enroaching on internet freedom. So if you're inspired by the idea of standing up for digital rights  take a look at our detailed job description and apply for a place on ORG's Board.

Footnote: if you're an ecampaigner or you're using the internet for campaigning, don't forget the lessons of history - the rights we've got are the ones we've fought for. (See also eCampaigning for Internet Freedom).
