To whom it may concern beyond just being affected...
the Internet is so broken, even the European Parliament passes resolutions against it[0] while the European Commission fosters the exploration of better solutions[1]. Some of us have been working on a new Internet all along and continue to do so.
We would like to invite you after 34C3, to Berlin, to discuss and hack Next Generation Internet technologies. The kind that actually replace parts of the existing Internet, not just adds complexity to it.
Start: Friday, 5th of January, 2018 End: Sunday, 7th of January, 2018 Location: Onionspace, Gottschedstraße 4, Aufgang 4, 13347 Berlin
We're roughly a dozen coders, working on one such solution. With a social interaction layer on top of GNUnet[2] - called secushare[3] - we want to continue our efforts on developing a basic communication technology for a better democratic society in which people be free to communicate, share information, participate in social discourse, and be empowered to establish structures through digital means to organize themselves and renew the idea of democracy. A truly social network, resistant against manipulation by DarkAds[4] and political dashboard optimization (see Facebook's Malvinas affair[5]) is becoming a precondition for reasonable election results.
Some updates on what we have been doing lately:
* Debugging of GNUnet sevices, e.g. multicast, psyc, social (all) * UI design for secushare (all) * Improved documentation (Drupal to Tex to Texinfo conversion and cleanup, etc) (WIP by ng0) * Improving the documentation (this involved Drupal to Tex to Texinfo conversion and applying fixes and changes to it) (by ng0) * Rust bindings for GNUnet (WIP by lurchi, t3sserakt) * Refactoring the GNUnet scheduler for use with epoll / foreign language bindings (WIP by lurchi, t3sserakt) * Continuous integration and deployment infrastructure, with E2E tests (WIP by dvn) * Guix packaging (WIP by ng0) * GNUnet integration into GuixSD (WIP by ng0) * A new GNUnet website (coming up, moving away from Drupal)
At our New Year meeting, we'd like to talk about some social, technical and infrastructural topics:
* Where we are with secushare, and what's next * Our role in the European Commission's Next Generation Internet * The use of a deteministic debugger to get the annoying bugs removed.[7] * Better guidance for interested people to join the GNUnet community. * AGPL Licensing - Will it save us? * CI/CD for GNUnet, and adjacent projects * Fixing gnunet-fs * infotropique[8] OS - a GuixSD based OS interwoven[9] with GNUnet
Again, we welcome you to Berlin. If you need a place to stay just get in touch, we will find something cheap and hospitable. For those already around on New Year's Eve, we want to party away the bad vibes of 2017, embrace the shapes of things to come with good music, drinks, food, and nice people. So if you are interested, you can already join us earlier, or meet us in smaller groups during the whole week.
'Til then, Happy hacking!

Liebe freunde,
ich denke, ihr versteht auch deutsch und deshalb schreibe ich auch in deutsch.
Meinen vorschlag fuer das InterNet, die Verbindung lokaler Netzwerke, "the Inter-connection of local Net-works", habe ich auch den leuten des EU Surfey programms "The Next Generation Internet" zugeleitet. Klar, mit so einem vorschlag sind diese leute, die nur in privaten/staatlichen strukturen zu hause sind und die telekommunikation als kapitalisierbares objekt behandeln, voellig ueberfordert.
Wir sollten immer auf eines zurueck gehen. Das Internet ist nur ein transportsystem fuer digitale daten in paketform. Alles andere spielt sich auf dem anwendungslevel, dem "application level", ab. Und zum transportsystem gehoert das routen, also die navigation, und die fehlerpruefung. Wir wollen ja, dass die pakete am ziel so ankommen, wie wir sie abgesendet haben.
Ich kann gerne euch meinen vorschlag, der ja in der FreiFunk umgebung und in manchen FSF listen bekannt ist, weiter geben. Ob ich in Berlin sein kann, ist noch offen.
Mein grundsaetzlicher ansatz ist, dass die menschen in ihren lokalen lebensgemeinschaften, den gemeinden, von klein bis gross, die telekommunikation selbst organisieren. Damit fallen von vorne herein private und staatliche instanzen heraus. Und nur so ist auch die telekommunikation aus dem geldsystem heraus nehmbar, was aber zwingend notwendig ist.
mit lieben gruessen, willi z.zt. Asuncion, Paraguay
