[liberationtech] Whistleblower systems in local governments

[Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) - lists]

Hello,

at Hermes Center we got a good set of experience in deploying and
customizing GlobaLeaks for Public Agencies and AntiCorruption NGOs (even
if we're mostly known for uses in media-activism and investigative
journalists).

Since we've started cooperating with TI's national chapters and other
anti-corruption NGOs in 2014, we've started an improvement process of
the GlobaLeaks software to increase information quality coming into the
system, handling different submission workflows, handling multiple team
on the same platforms, integrating in existing websites in
privacy-preserving way and stuff like that.

Btw from what we've learned "on field", the procedural/organizational
part of a whistleblowing project (let's call it "the analog part") is
probably the most important.

I'd really recommend to get support from the national chapter of
Transparency International, that surely knows better also the specific
"legal" requirements that may impact the procedures and workflows for
Whistleblowing.

If we can gives some advice / support in evaluating / deploying
globaleaks in that context, let's fire an email! :-)
