Friends!

The time has come to submit your proposals.

In making 2013 a banner year for the Summit, the theme for this year
is Community. In the past decade -- which included the founding of
Freifunk, the birth of IS4CWN, and the genesis of major projects
including Commotion and CONFINE -- the community wireless movement has
expanded substantially in both size and visibility. But where do we go
from here? How can we take the movement to the next level in terms of
technological advancement, community engagement, and diversity? We
encourage our speakers, workshop leaders, and participants to think
big this year and help us grow our community of communities.

To submit a proposal, head on over to www.WirelessSummit.org.
Registration is open and you can submit your proposal for a panel,
workshop or presentation through the web forms. Travel funding is also
available, and early registrants will receive a 50% discount.

**Please note that only proposals and travel funding requests
submitted through the web forms will be considered**

This year's Summit is committed to having a diversity of voices
and experience, and we're looking to have a lot of new faces in the
room. Community networks encompass a whole range of social, political
and technical challenges, so technical knowledge is definitely not
required.

Access to technology and technical knowledge has been historically
inequitable and remains so to this day. Recognizing this, the
International Summit for Community Wireless Networks aspires to
include participants and speakers from a broad range of backgrounds
and experiences. We seek and welcome diversity in order to reflect the
communities that wireless networks can and should serve, cultivating
expertise, creativity, and innovation. Please join us in creating an
environment of respect, equity, and accessibility at all levels of
Summit involvement.

See you in Berlin!

The IS4CWN Organizing Committee
