The Tactical Technology Collective is an important member of the CiviSec community. Their mission is to "advance the skills, tools and techniques of rights advocates, empowering them to utilise information and communications as a critical asset in helping marginalised communities understand and affect progressive social, environmental and political change."

I have the current pleasure of working with Al Alegre in the context of ONI Asia. Al lives and works in the Phillippines, and is extremely active in the world of digital media and technology, especially where it relates to civil society and human rights and freedoms within Asia.

Al is involved in many projects, one of which I draw your attention to now. The project is called Websining, and is a flagship project of the Committee on Visual Arts, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Phillippines.
