Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 23:52:51 +0200 From: panayotis antoniadis panayotis@nethood.org Reply-To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List battlemesh@ml.ninux.org To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List battlemesh@ml.ninux.org
Dear all,
Just to let you know that Exarcheia Net (a newborn "district" community network in Athens) will organize a libremesh hands-on workshop right after the battle mesh in Vienna with special guests, Juergen Neumann and the three libremesh masquetiers, Gui, Gio, and Pau :-)
You can read below the initial message sent to the libremesh list, and you can contact me personally if you would like to participate and if you would need accommodation.
The workshop will be self-organized and will last at least 2-3 days (June 12-15). It will include node installations, discussions about strategies on how to make such an initiative successful, and more depending on the interests of the participants.
Personally, I will try to come also to Vienna between June 6-8, and I would be happy to present about this new effort in Athens and other related work through the netCommons project: http://netcommons.eu
Best, Panos http://nethood.org/panayotis/

Dear all,
As a quick introduction, I have been thinking and talking for many years about the importance of local applications in community networks, in the academia before and now somewhere in between research and action through the non-profit organization http://nethood.org/
My current base is in Zurich, Switzerland but I am working on various projects in my hometown in Athens including the new community network James Lewis mentioned in a different thread. For this project I mostly contribute through a nice roof overlooking the Exarcheia neighbourhood where the network is being deployed, and an empty apartment in the same building where I host friends, colleagues, activists, and more.
In addition to offering Internet access to the various refugee squats that exist in the area, the long-term objective is to offer also a variety of local services and develop a different model for building community networks in big cities, anchored in different neighbourhoods and including open physical spaces for discussions, workshops, training, residencies, etc.
To make the story short, we were thinking with James to organize a hands-on workshop perhaps after the battle of the mesh, June 12-15?, providing free accommodation for 7-8 people and possibly more, and a small real-life testbed (a short camping retreat in a close to Athens island is also possible :-))
I thought to share this idea first here, before opening it up to the battle of the mesh, to get a first feedback since it is mostly with libremesh that we want to experiment.
What do you think?
Would any of you would be interested to visit us in Athens?
(depending on the prices I might be able to cover also the travel expenses from Vienna for 2-3 people)
Best, Panos.
