Campaigner for Open Cloud
- Bill ran an OpenStack campaign for UKCloud that culminated in UKCloud winning the global OpenStack SuperUser award in May 2017 at the Boston OpenStack Summit – real global recognition for UKCloud and use of open cloud here in the UK. See:
- Bill has also written numerous articles championing OpenStack and Open Cloud. See:

- Lock-in starts to surpass security as main cloud concern - diginomica government
- The Egress Has Landed - “Doing battle with Cloud’s evil contracts and hostile hidden costs”
- When should you turn to open source cloud? (Bill quoted)

Campaigner for Privacy
- Bill has recently launched an internet TV series ‘Point of Privacy’ on Disruptive live – where he is the presenter, interviewing leading industry figures in the field of privacy – see Point of Privacy: Series 1 Episode 1 – Bill Mew interviews privacy campaigner Max Schrems and see Point of Privacy: Series 1 Episode 2 – Bill Mew interviews legal experts Frank Jennings and Eduardo Ustaran
- GDPR allows for the formation of NGOs to help enforce privacy. There is a real need for one to help the public bring cases against corporate giants that abuse their privacy. Max Schrems attempted to do this with a crowd funding campaign for NOYB (None of your Business). Bill was instrumental in helping Max and his team to reach their crowd funding target and the new NGO will now be going ahead in a few months’ time – in time to support the public when GDPR comes into force.
- Bill has also been a TV pundit as well. He has been interviewed a few times on topics like Privacy and Sovereignty, such as this one on RT UK News following the recent ‘Snoopers Charter’ ruling and again on GDPR
- Bill has also written articles championing a responsible approach to GDPR and focusing on issues related to Privacy Shield. See:
- Data Protection should be about Trust Rather than Fear | THINK Digital Partners
- Why data sovereignty matters - the looming privacy threat from the US DoJ and the Trump Administration - Diginomica
- Sinking SHiPS - Safe Harbour & Privacy Shield | THINK Digital Partners
- The EU / US Privacy Not-so-merry-go-round | THINK Digital Partners
- A Bright Multi-Cloud Future for Health Tech – with Privacy Front of Mind - Digital Leaders

Campaigner for Cloud use in the UK Public Sector and the important role that SMEs have to play
- In the face of stiff competition where some of UKCloud’s rivals like Datacentred have gone to the wall, Bill has helped UKCloud punch way above its weight, competing every step of the way with the global cloud giants and maintaining its market leading position on G-Cloud.
- Bill has also written numerous articles to hold the government to account in terms of progress on both the digital transformation agenda and SME agenda. See:
- The Digital Marketplace Contenders, 17: UKCloud On Why Cloud Aids The UK Taxpayer | THINK Digital Partners
