Happy International Human Rights Day 2007!

December 10, 2007

Happy International Human Rights Day! One year to go until we reach the 60th anniversary of the UDHR. As Irene Khan lays out in today's address to the Elders in Johannesburg, we've made significant progress over the last six decades, but still have a long way to go before we make it real. I am simultaneously positive and outraged.

Happy International Human Rights Day!

Amnesty International Embraces Open Source

December 09, 2007

I'm exhausted and can't really express what I'm feeling at the moment, but we're live — the International Secretariat of Amnesty International has re-launched its new, completely re-architected, W3C Web Content Accessibility-compliant, data protection law and privacy legislation-compliant, multi-lingual and totally open source Drupal, CiviCRM and Alfresco-based website. I'll blog in more detail later but in the meantime want to thank Fortune Cookie, CivicActions and the truly amazing group people I've had the pleasure to work with at Amnesty for getting this done :)
