Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in introducing myself, I'm Rodrigo Troian and I'm
part of Coolab and as other members of the team I also work with some
NGOs working in Brazil in training, supporting and installation of
community networks in distinct places!
I've been following the mailing list, but as Bruno and Thiago have
represented us well so far I had not expressed myself, but to help here,
I was at BattleMesh v10 and I believe that I scared Jenny - Hi Jenny - a
little bit about some places in Brazil, so just to clear to all,
dangerous places are the exception in most places, not the default set ;)
So to endorse Bruno here, Hiure's place is totally fine, is an beautiful
and quiet place in the country and an good alternative to 20 to 35 people.
But I like the idea of Argentina/Cordoba too, and I believe that will be
easier to organize and I believe that there are more possible attendees
also.
About the global summit for 2019 we have more time to think, maybe in
the future split this tread in two, it will help to avoid confusions!
Saudações a tod@s!
Troian

Hi Jenny!
Welcome to the list (and Council)
I just want to make sure there is no confusion going on here - as I,
at least, am a bit confused.
I think there is one discussion that happened in the Battlemeshes in
Berlin and Austria about where to do the next *Battlemesh* meeting,
and in Berlin I remember that India was one of the alternatives. But
my impression is that on this list, we are discussing the *ISOC*
global and latin american CN meetings.
Am I right? I got the impression that Monic also made this mix-up. Or
are they actually the same event? (which is not a bad idea)
Abraços
Bruno

Hi all!
New to this group, but a relative 'intermediate' in the community
wireless realm.. As a relatively hasty intro, I work on the
People's Open Network <https://peoplesopen.net> in Oakland,
California :) Very happy to be here!
At the Battlemesh v10 in Austria
<https://www.battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV10> last year, I recall
multiple discussions re: hosting the next convening in possibly:
* Oakland, California (I'm a co-founder of the Omni Commons
<https://omnicommons.org>, a large collective space here that
could likely accommodate such an event) - this was largely
disagreeable given the US' stringent visa requirements for Central
& South Americans in particular - tho there is a growing North
American federation of community/mesh wireless networks and I'm
looking forward to the /State of Our Networks /conference
<https://ournetworks.ca> being hosted by Toronto Wireless in
Canada this July!)http://coolab.org [i apologize in advance for
using so much nationalist/colonialist terminology :/ please help
me improve!]
* Madurai region of India - large educational space proposed by
Senthil,. who gave this talk<http:///> at Battlemesh in 2017 on
working with a 200+ class of young women learning to code, and
using mesh to further the reach of educational curriculae in rural
parts of India - http://openfreenet.org
* Several folks spoke from South America, if I recall
correctly...was it Gui or Nico Pace from Altermundi in Argentina?
** ... and Rodrigo from Brazil? [i know, it's a big place - but he
was working on building networks to connect favelas all over the
country..] - can't remember if he had a particular space in mind,
and he warned many areas (particularly Sao Paulo) can be quite
dangerous to tourists. - http://coolab.org
Big fan of any options that entail my saving up to travel to
either South America or India toward building networks for a more
libre future!

Hi all,
I support Monic's point about having the global summit in
India -
hosts
willing. I think its important that we diversify
(the
continent) and I
think the global South is a good place to focus
on.
To Nico's point on piggy-backing, Sarbani and Jaspreet, how
do you
feel
about hosting (with help) a CN global summit in
2019? If
interested, is
there any event on which we could plan this
Summit that
could make the
event better attendance/ lower cost?
Thanks, Sol
