- Del.icio.us
- IRC
Volunteer
If you can spare some time for digital rights, whether you’re a coder, lawyer or anything else, please volunteer to help ORG either by emailing us or attending (physically or virtually) our next volunteer meeting, details of which are on our wiki.
Discuss
Join our medium volume email list — org-discuss — where the community debate digital rights issues, from e-voting to net neutrality.
Events
Join our low volume email list — org-announce — to keep updated with ORG events across the country.
We’ve got two feeds to keep in touch with digital rights tweeters. One is a stream of the posts from our homepage blog and the newsblog. The other is an informal mouthpiece for our staff. Follow us!
Newsblog
The Newsblog, as with most of our works, is run by volunteers as a service for anyone interested in digital rights news stories. The blog covers the whole gamut of our Issues. If you want to stay up on our concerns, then sign up to a feed. And if you’d like to submit a story for consideration then please send the link to newsbloggers at openrightsgroup dot org.
Merchandise
Shop for ORG! A five pound donation to ORG is included in the price of our snazzy t-shirts (available for both boys and girls).
Consult
Help us respond to Government and other consultations using Consult, our commenting tool
Flickr
See pictures from ORG events in our Flickr photo pool. And please use the ORG tag to share with us your photos.
Upcoming
Our Upcoming group lists events of interest to the UK digital rights community.
Del.icio.us
If you have a digital rights story that you want featured on our Newsblog, or just brought to our attention, then please use the “openrightsgroup” tag on del.icio.us. We do have an openrightsgroup account on del.icio.us but don’t maintain it these days.
Join our Facebook group. Why? We’re not really sure ourselves.
IRC
We use irc.freenode.net #openrightsgroup during volunteering meetings and for more general chatter. Jump in and say hi to staff and supporters. For instructions on how to use IRC, see this page on the wiki.
One of our supporters set up an ORG group on LinkedIn. Suggestions for what it could actually be used for to the usual info@ address please. And if you want to see us on another social network, we’d be very interested to hear from you.
