= People Links = People Links are a series of monthly talks addressed to MF/PL members on political and technical issues relevant for them (open for other people as well, which potentially might bring more members). AnalĂ­a, a staff member of APC and also a MF/PL volunteer, will coordinate the initiative. The initial proposal is to do these talks monthly, the first Thursday of each month at 6 PM East time. A preliminary list of issues would be: * Violence against women and the internet, possible impacts on free speech, and measures that ISPs might take. * Surveillance online and what to do to counteract it * Open source and intellectual property (example: what happened to YesLab) * Race * Control panel * Tickets We're aiming at one-hour talks, with the following structure * Eventual technical adjustments and waiting for late arrivals (5 minutes) * Brief intro about MF/PL (5 minutes) * Presenter's talk (15 minutes) * Q&A (20 minutes) * Wrap up (5 minutes) An initial invitation will be sent through the membership list, and interested people would be added to a People LInks list.
