Has anyone had any experience with #Odoo (www.odoo.com) in Australia at all? Trying to see if it’s worth consolidating a number of functions (timesheets, HRIS, CRM/donor management and knowledge management) into a single platform. #Odoo #HRIS #CRM

I’m on the hunt for someone with fundraising experience who cares about services that connect people with democracy. If you know somebody like that, please send them my way ❤️

You deserve to know how your politicians vote in parliament on issues that are important to you. We won’t ever charge for this information. If you care about keeping #TheyVoteForYou trusted and independent, spare some treasure 💰 to cover some of our tech and people: donate.oaf.org.au

You might want to check out our friends at @politicalgadgets.bsky.social - They have created a few really good tools to make it easier to explore data from various government sources: politicalgadgets.com

bsky.app/profile/oaf.... It’s important that there is nuance here - draft policies on #TheyVoteForYou are draft for a reason - in this case it didn’t contain votes post-October 2023.

The 15-year-old can't use TikTok, but is comforted by the fact he’ll be old enough to watch a thousand ads from Sportsbet about the latest odds at Randwick. theshovel.com.au/2024/11/11/t...

Thanks for the love. Right to Know is run by a really small group of dedicated people (including me!), and is run by a registered charity. You can also consider donating - donate.oaf.org.au

One reasonable change could be for agencies to upload the actual docs that are released on their disclosure log - something that isn’t required currently.

The FOI Amendment Bill 2025 makes it harder to hold govt to account: bans anonymous requests, adds a “transparency tax” fee, and expands secrecy. Parliament must reject it. 👉 www.oaf.org.au/2025/09/08/2... #RightToKnow #FOI #auspol

Hey aussies. I think you should make a lot of noise about this The FOI Amendment Bill 2025 will give government new ways to refuse FOI requests, and also introduce a fee for making the request. 👉 www.oaf.org.au/2025/09/08/2... #RightToKnow #FOI #auspol

I figured it was esafety that was getting flooded with FOIs but Rowland confirmed on ABC today. Wild that attempts to take down tweets could lead to a worse FOI system. (It was a campaign from some free speech org that automated FOI requests)

According to www.righttoknow.org.au/request/supp... @VictoriaPolice are taking 10x as long as the #FOI act allows. #FOIA #vicpol #transparency

There has been a recent surge in automated suspicious looking traffic. However it wasn't the only reason the site went down yesterday.

Does anyone have any suggestions for simple social media management tools for smaller organisations? There are so many social media platforms now, finding a simple tool to manage it all would make life so much easier. Open to self hosted tools if needed.

Just went through and migrated my followers from the bad place. You can do it too, using this awesome plugin: www.sky-follower-bridge.dev

Please vote YES in the upcoming referendum on October 14

The latest from Space Karen: “I am pro free speech unless it’s speech I personally disagree with. I don’t mind speech that harms other marginalised groups but don’t you dare say something against the state of Israel.”

The “De-Transitioning” episode by Channel 7’s “Spotlight” program on the weekend sounds like it was a dumpster fire. If you’ve watched it and you feel it might have violated the code of practice, you can make a complaint at complaints.freetv.com.au/Submission

I’m voting YES in the Referendum this year. It’s important to recognise our First Nations people in our constitution, and give them a voice on matters that affect them. #VoteYes #UluruStatement #VoteYesAustralia #yes23

It’s finally happened! The photo we’ve all been waiting for! Honestly, it looks like he’s trying too hard with that facial expression. The only thing I’m disappointed about is they let him wear his suit. I’m pretty sure jail clothes would have looked better.

Is there a way to find people you’re following on #Twitter and automatically follow them on @bsky.app?

So my first post here! Updating my Twitter with this profile info triggered Space Karen to ask if I was a robot 😂
