Daniel Domscheit-Berg was with the WikiLeaks organisation just over two years. He started visiting the WikiLeaks chatroom and made inquiries about volunteering in 2007 and was finally given 'menial' tasks towards the end of the year. He met up with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Berlin Conference Centre in the last week of 2007, first greeting him at the spiral staircase as he tells it in his book.
