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 in Oakland, California :) Very happy to be here!

At the Battlemesh v10 in Austria last year, I recall multiple discussions re: hosting the next convening in possibly:

* Oakland, California (I'm a co-founder of the Omni Commons, 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 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 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!
