First, a reminder that panel proposals are due in less than two weeks:
panel ideas will be accepted on a rolling basis and must be received no
later than March 31, 2008. Please send your proposals (limit 250 words
or less) and questions to: summit at chambana.net. 

Travel stipends are available for speakers with financial need.

Interested presenters are encouraged to propose innovative panels
focusing on the three themes for the Summit: technology, policy, and
implementation. The International Summit for Community Wireless Networks
distinguishes itself from typical technical and academic conferences by
engaging all participants in an ongoing dialog that encourages a
strategic approach to community wireless network development and
telecommunications policy reform. Panelists will not simply present
their own work and opinions - they will also serve as facilitators of a
process that records lessons learned and help produce a comprehensive
"to-do list" of action items for the coming months and years.

While three days is not long enough to develop a truly comprehensive
strategic plan, panels at the Summit represent a significant opportunity
for thinkers, developers, and stakeholders to produce substantial
recommendations to support the development of community wireless
networks. The Summit is, in essence, a gathering of leaders in the field
and an opportunity to shape the future of this movement. Past panels can
be reviewed at: http://www.cuwin.net/2007summit/2007schedule.

Secondly, we've updated the registration portion of our website and ask
those who have registered but have not yet paid for their registration
fees to please do so.  If you experience any problems with the
registration system or have any questions regarding registration,
contact cecille at acornactivemedia.com. 

 

Finally, please continue to visit the summit site at

recent updates on the summit schedule and logistics information.
