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