[Commotion-discuss] Contents of Commotion-discuss digest... Allied Media Conference

[Jonathan Werber]

Hello all,

I'm currently based in Detroit working out of two non profits and just  
wanted to offer up myself for any help you may need surrounding the  
Allied Media conference; transportation, pointers, spaces to meet  
outside the conference,  etc.

Best,
Jon

> Hi all - I wanted to start the conversation around bringing people
> together at this year's Allied Media Conference. For those folks that
> aren't familiar with the conference, its an excellent place to come
> together with a lot of other individuals and organizations and discuss
> organizing strategies for our projects and movements. If you want to
> read more, check out the conference web site:
> http://amc.alliedmedia.org/
>
> Put it on your calendars! June 20th to 23rd.
>
> The idea is to come together and discuss building and running Community
> Wireless networks. What is working for folks, and what are the
> challenges? How do we raise funds, or what is the business model in use
> for keeping our networks sustainable?
>
> I'm going to reach out directly to folks I have been in touch with over
> the past year or so, but I certainly don't know or have contacts with
> all of the community networks in the country (or world!). Please pass
> this notice around and invite people to the AMC so we can have a larger
> and more productive conversation.
>
> You can read the text of what I proposed below, at the bottom of this
> email. Obviously this is just a proposal to the AMC, I'm hoping that it
> will be approved so we can have the space at the conference.
>
> Just so you all know, there are a number of other wireless and community
> technology sessions being proposed this year at the AMC. Please consider
> submitting your own proposal if you would like to share your stories and
> strategies around your projects:

> Let me know if y'all have thoughts, questions or concerns about this!

> Community Wireless Networks Caucus
>
> Neighborhoods and communities all over the world are opting to build
> their own communications infrastructure, rather than wait for the big
> Telco companies to do it for them in an affordable way. This dinnertime
> caucus meeting brings together those organizations and individuals that
> are starting to walk down that path, or have established networks
> already. The goal is to share successes, pitfalls, and strategies for
> connecting our communities and owning our own infrastructure.
> Participants will walk away with connections, strategies and stories to
> share with their collaborators!
>
> The discussion is intended to cover:
> * Community organizing strategies
> * Planning and designing for your neighborhood
> * Technical considerations and costs
> * Fundraising, business models, and sustainability
> * Success stories, such as:
>   * What can we learn from WISPs? (Wireless Internet Service Providers)
>   * Existing networks and the stories of their growth
