v6 v7 28 28 * Coordinate learning from each MFPL member to learn what work they are doing, how they use MFPL technology, what gaps and needs they have, with a goal of identifying and building links between members and especially across borders 29 29 30 === Evaluation===30 ==== Evaluation ==== 31 31 32 32 As part of our surveillance campaign (see evaluation of item above), we took special care to emphasize cross-border and international participation. One of our five Left Forum panels was exclusively organized by activists in Mexico on the topic of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and presented, via Jitsi, to participants of the Left Forum in New York. Leadership Committee member Juan Gerardo came to the US twice to attend international solidarity economy conferences, bringing a cross-border perspective to the US. … … 46 46 * Link an “Internet privacy campaign” to local, day-to-day sureillence (street/building cameras, criminal records, police surveillence) 47 47 48 === Evaluation===48 ==== Evaluation ==== 49 49 50 50 We are successful in making this connection, specifically through our work with the Media Action Grassroots Network. In particular, our surveillance online meeting featured two local anti-surveillance activists speaking to a national audience about their experiences. Similarly, Hamid Khan presented in Montreal about the relationship of local surveillance to national and international surveillance. … … 56 56 * Build a voice to fight against the oppressive use of technology. This includes developing an analysis of how technology is used oppressively, and using that analysis to educate our membership base. 57 57 58 === Evaluation===58 ==== Evaluation ==== 59 59 60 60 We did not increase dues, but we did agree to break out membership dues from service fees so new members can join without services as a way to expand membership (decision made, but not yet implemented). We also organized our annual membership meeting specifically around the role of technology in society and how we can use it for revolutionary purposes. … … 72 72 * Due to the importance of MFPL, our organization should help shape main agendas of internet /related organizations and find common positions. 73 73 74 === Evaluation===74 ==== Evaluation ==== 75 75 76 76 We engaged heavily in the Free Media convergence that took place in Montreal just before the World Social Forum, operated as an anchor for the Media Access Grassroots Network, and made significant improvements to the Mexlca conference system (now supports up to 50 simultaneous phone calls, better language switching). … … 85 85 * It is necessary to research to minimize the problems we’ve been having with communication systems, in particular Mezcla software. 86 86 87 === Evaluation===87 ==== Evaluation ==== 88 88 89 89 Work was done to fund-raise for purchasing servers in Mexico and discussion began on purposes for such servers and strategies for maintaining them.
