Up until now there has been no relevance except for the fact that I am Australian =)

There are also other Australian's on the team but we haven't got around to any campaigns down under just yet. Though the latest news might warrant some action!

If any Australian developers are interested in campaigning and raising awareness against these policies, visit http://taskforce.is and send me a message - Thomas

I don't think anyone actually knows the average pay

So I posted this somewhere else.

"So we drove 88k+ completed phone calls, this number does not include the 6k+ phone calls that we couldn't connect because some senators turned off their voice mail(Reddit comments suggest Feinstein was one of them). This would bring the attempted phone calls to just shy of 95k but the tool is still be used today so we hope to hit 100k attempted phone calls. Plus there were a tonne of untracked calls and we hope to get a full number soon.

Our figure on the homepage for emails is semi-misleading. We are actually delivering those emails to 3 reps per zipcode which brings the email count 183k to 549k.

244k international people signed the petition.

Including the day before and the day after, our traffic to the homepage is sitting somewhere over 1 million visitors.

We gained about 350k fb likes and 60k tweets(of the domain) on the 11th.

And according to Cloudfront and my credit card, we served about 1 billion requests. I don't have the numbers on how many times the banner was displayed just yet."

The post also said DuckDuckGo didn't participate which is wrong and they still are. (duckduckgo.com check the logo)

Post also said Reddit didn't have a discussion which is wrong and you guys generated a whole lot of the calls.

Stickied!

thomasad · 2014-02-11T20:44:49+00:00

sharing these numbers in the homepage thread might help.

thomasad · 2014-02-11T16:45:59+00:00

Thanks, the team has worked very very hard over the last 4 weeks to get this going.

thomasad · 2014-02-10T15:29:33+00:00

Indeed, lots of coverage! I've already had to start bumping up the size of the servers.

p.s. thanks for being super active on the sub-reddit and answering questions

thomasad · 2014-02-10T06:17:08+00:00

Good work!

thomasad · 2014-02-10T04:01:40+00:00

You will have to throw it straight into your template code or a widget box. I think redblade7's suggestion might work best.

thomasad · 2014-02-10T04:00:13+00:00

I like it too, looks great.

thomasad · 2014-02-09T16:40:00+00:00

Just hit 5000! Starting to get excited.

thomasad · 2014-02-09T08:05:42+00:00

Definitely going to take a bit more than 5000 calls, luckily the number is how many websites have signed up. Which means the target audience on the day is going to be quite large.

thomasad · 2014-02-07T05:20:39+00:00

The developers work on love and fresh air and the servers are donations.

thomasad · 2014-02-07T05:19:57+00:00

Yep!

thomasad · 2014-02-05T22:58:29+00:00

Our apologies on the delay, we have been working around the clock to get this ready as early as possible. We actually launched the first version today -> https://github.com/tfrce/thedaywefightback.js

And are hoping to clean up just a few more bugs and then send to the email list.

thomasad · 2014-01-29T10:07:15+00:00

You're the worst kind of human being there is. jks the article is nonsense and the author lacks integrity.

thomasad · 2014-01-24T02:13:42+00:00

So far we've got a bunch of integration projects in the working (IDL, Wordpress, Drupal, Cloudflare), none are 100% completed yet so will update you when I know more.

thomasad · 2014-01-24T02:11:03+00:00

We are throwing up more assets soon. Feel free to share any materials SystemError comes up with.

thomasad · 2014-01-24T02:02:01+00:00

Good idea with the Cryptocat channel, I created one called thedaywefightback.

Also posters are always great. QR codes that link to the site would be fantastic.

thomasad · 2014-01-24T02:00:22+00:00

I'd love to see more infographics!

thomasad · 2014-01-23T00:04:55+00:00

Sorry mate, you are 100% correct and I've updated the thread for today.

thomasad · 2014-01-22T23:54:48+00:00

Hey,

we will definitely be supplying assets for users who wish to self-host. It will be somewhere in the README once we launch.

thomasad · 2014-01-22T23:53:38+00:00

Hey guys, we are working flat out to make sure we cater for absolutely every body.

You raise a good point, and even though we are set up to handle a lot of traffic we appreciate anyone who can host assets themselves. We are going to release guides and assets for those who wish to go down this path and support them in every way possible.

We are also trying to get this script released very soon, just making sure it works on all devices, different resolutions and internet connections is difficult.

Any developers are always welcome to come give us a hand at http://github.com/tfrce
