France are having their 'duckhouse moment', with the expenses of elected officials coming under scrutiny - and introducing the concept of #FOI to the general public.

@madada.fr (which runs on our own Alaveteli software) is at the heart of it all - read more at www.mysociety.org/2025/10/23/p...

Oh and alaveteli (which powers inter alia whatdotheyknow.com) recently completely removed its little-used member-to-member messaging function to evade this entire thing outright

Guten morgen from a very sunny Berlin at the Information Comissioners International Conference!

Looking forward to spending 3 days talking about freedom of information rights around the world 📄🌏

Did you know our platform alaveteli (which powers WhatDoTheyKnow) is used in more than 25 countries?!

Alaveteli on tietenkin pohjoisempana kuin Veteli. Onkohan nyt vaan niin, että kartta on tehty väärinpäin?

A one-click follow: this starter pack contains people and organisations involved in running #FOI projects around the world. We'll add more as we find' em! go.bsky.app/13PeXfX #ATI #accesstoinformation #freedomofinformation #alaveteli

Ma Dada is run on our own Alaveteli platform :)

It's a bug in Alaveteli, it calculates the request status based on the last event, and in this case gets it wrong. "Clarification requested" (by the authority) is a status that can be set.

Shortlisted in our Impactful International Reuse category are DATA, who have installed both the FixMyStreet and the Alaveteli codebases for use in Uruguay. They're especially recognised for changing the way authorities communicate with citizens. #mySocietyawards

Shortlisted in our Exposing Truth category is LostinEurope, which used #FOI, plus the knowledge and experience from the wide network of #Alaveteli sites, to reveal data on child migrants who are turned away at borders, and disappear from official records. #mySocietyawards

Shortlisted in our Impactful International Reuse category are @DostupPravda, the Alaveteli site for Ukraine. They're especially recognised for maintaining an #FOI service during wartime, when truth is more vital than ever. #mySocietyawards
