I served on the board of Digital Rights Watch for some years, and also worked on a number of projects. As well as the Press Freedom report co-sponsored by GetUp!, I worked on DRW’s response to the Australian Government’s flawed CovidSafe smartphone application, and did a substantial amount of systems and data management work as the organisation transitioned from volunteer-run to retaining staff.
As the capacity of DRW grew, so did the need for robust systems and infrastructure to support campaign activities.
