CALL FOR PROPOSALS — Accepted April 1 - June 1, 2010

International Summit for Community Wireless Networks
August 12-15, 2010
Vienna, Austria

Propose panels online at www.wirelesssummit.org

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. The 2010 International Summit for Community
Wireless Networks offers panelists to help shape the future direction of
this thriving global movement. Over the course of three days, panels and
workshops provide a significant opportunity for thinkers, developers, and
stakeholders to swap notes and produce substantial recommendations
supporting the continuing development of community wireless networks. By
gathering leaders from across this field to exchange of strategies, stories,
and best practices, the Summit is a key place to help shape the future of
this global networking movement.

Interested presenters should propose innovative panels and workshops
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 do more than present their work and opinions — they
facilitate a process that records lessons learned and help produce a
comprehensive "to-do list" of action items for the coming months and years.

We invite your panel proposals and participation in this year's
International Summit for Community Wireless Networks to discuss and exchange
ideas on how to make universal broadband access a reality.  Demonstrations
of software innovation, success stories of network deployment, presentations
of ongoing research and discussion of municipal and governmental
collaboration, on both the national and transnational levels, are welcome.
Panelists are encouraged to convene panels that look at specific issues from
multiple angles and perspectives.   Panel ideas will be accepted on a
rolling basis and must be received no later than June 1, 2010. Please send
panel proposals of 250 words or less to: summit at chambana.net.  Travel
stipends are available for speakers with financial need.

Past panels can be reviewed at http://wirelesssummit.org.
