(sorry fuer die lange recipient Liste, ich denke aber, dass das fuer euch interessant ist)


Hallo!

Untenstehende Ankuendigung ging soeben raus.  

Ich bin gerade dabei mit Faith, Sascha, Dan und der New America Foundation die alljaehrliche "ISCWN" Konferenz zu organisieren, diesmal wird das in Wien stattfinden (und somit das erste mal in Europa sein). Die letzten Male war sie in den USA. Das Techgate in Wien wird uns die Raeume verbilligt geben. 

Erwartet werden bei der Konferenz ca. 100-200 Spezialisten aus aller Welt aus dem Bereichen: Community Wireless Netze , Open Spectrum, Netzpolitik, Policy Hacker, ICT for Education and Developing Countries und Mesh Network Research zusammentreffen.


Es ist also, soweit mir bekannt, die einzige *internationale* Konferenz fuer Wireless Community Networks und (Netzwerk-) Zivilgesellschaft. Erwartet und eingeladen werden u.a. alle europaeischen und internationalen Community Wireless Netzwerkbetreiber.

> August 12-15, 2010: International Summit for Community Wireless Networks
> 
> Vienna, Austria
> 
> The New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, Tech Gate Vienna, the CUWiN Foundation, and the Acorn Active Media Foundation are pleased announce that the annual International Summit for Community Wireless Networks will take place in Vienna, Austria from August 12-15, 2010.
> Internet access is increasingly important to all facets of civil society. Since the first National Summit for Community Wireless Networks in 2004, tens of thousands of community and municipal broadband initiatives have been deployed around the globe, but many communities are being left out of this communications revolution.  "The global coalition of developers, communities, industry, and advocates working together over the past decade has created one of the most disruptive and far-reaching technological innovations of our generation, yet few know about it and fewer still have taken advantage of this opportunity," says Sascha Meinrath, director of the Open Technology Initiative and the Summit's founder.  "The International Summit for Community Wireless Networks is the nexus around which this movement swaps notes, strategizes, and organizes its agenda for development and implementation of ubiquitous, affordable broadband networks."
> 
> 2010 marks the first year that this group of technologists, entrepreneurs, government officials, academics and engaged citizens will convene outside the United States, a critical step to broaden and deepen international involvement in what truly is a global movement.  Participants will learn from each other’s examples, exchange strategies and anecdotes, and build partnerships that strengthen alliances among projects.
> 
> 
> Vienna possesses a rich and diverse mix of established technology companies and start ups, new media organizations, researchers and cultural producers as well as a remarkable number of institutions of higher learning. Not only is Vienna well positioned among the top international leaders in the information economy, the city is also home to FunkFeuer, one of the most advanced community wireless networks in the world.  FunkFeuer is highly respected internationally for its technical and social innovations, its many collaborations with university researchers and artists, and the scale and scope of its network.  The Summit will provide an opportunity to expand upon FunkFeuer's successes and spread best-methods for developing sustainable metro-scale wireless mesh networks. 
> 
> The International Summit for Community Wireless Networks focuses on how wireless networks can better serve their target populations, the policies needed to support broader deployment of community wireless systems, and the latest technological and software innovations in the field.
