Volunteer!

Open Rights Group is driven by volunteer power and we are always looking for people who want to act in support of our campaigning work. Right now, in particular, we want to hear from:

Campaign volunteers

The 'stop disconnection' campaign is in full swing but needs more ideas and hands to keep running and keep growing.

Help other people lobby their MPs: public wiki

We need help building information on MPs for our lobbying effort. We need to add links to surgery details on our MP wiki pages. Check out this page for details.

Web Developers

Our website, microsites and various social networks are key to getting a wider community involved in digital rights. Developing new sites and keeping the existing ones in shape requires a lot of skill and effort. If you have front-end skills and time to spare then please get in touch via Turn on JavaScript!. In particular we need people experienced or willing to work with the ModX CMS platform.

Systems Administrators

We're also looking for competent people to volunteer to help sysadmin our expanding network of websites (full-scale and micro), servers and office machines. They should self-document code, work with revision systems (subversion), and not screw things up (for too long, anyhow). A more details list of the skills we need is available on request via Turn on JavaScript!

Community Fundraisers

Small donations from individuals drive our campaigning successes. We need to reach out to more technologists and campaigners by attending more conferences and meet-ups to spread the word about Open Rights Group. If you like talking about digital rights issues and can spare some time then please drop a line to Turn on JavaScript! and let us know you're interested.

Newsbloggers

We maintain a for news stories related to digital rights issues. Volunteers source and post stories of interest to our community. If you're a feed-addict and want to help then mail into Turn on JavaScript!.

Video producers

We want to make more videos of our events and in support of our campaign work. If you like filming and editing, or producing animations, then we want to hear from via Turn on JavaScript!.
