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 </> 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 Sol,
Thanks much. I am currently in San Francisco for ACM Compass. I will be
back next week. I hope you don't mind if I can get back on this in the
next week.
Thanks

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

If we don't want to do both Latin American
and Global meetings in
Cordoba,
there is a place with good infrastructure in Hiure's town, Monteiro
Lobato,
a 3 hours car ride from São Paulo.
We used the rooms of a boarding school where 20 can sleep. There are
also
hostels and people who can host guests. And the neighbors are building a
fine network
.
Here are pictures from the school: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmfmwaow
And the CN: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmhJqg4F
How many people are we thinking of?

My proposal for Córdoba and more specifically Quintana was for the
global gathering, and it's just one option.
So, for the regional meeting we can propose any location.
un abrazo,
Nico
