Hi Nico,
To the points that Sol had mentioned, I am very keen and interested in the
second point regarding sustainability and addressing the various issues
and challenges. I would like to propose that in addition to this, if we
can work on women in community networks and how they use the network
globally. This would be a very interesting study. Can we propose that?
How do we go about with SIG project with Global scope? Gram Marg is
interested. Gram Marg would be studying the Gender Impact assessment in
its own community led network. Technology challenges and developing
community technology could be something else that can be studied across
all community networks.
I can elaborate on it and discuss it with others as well.
Thanks
With regards,
Sarbani
I have copied the BtN form to these pads:
https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_BeyondTheNet_2018_large
https://pad.codigosur.org/CNSIG_BeyondTheNet_2018_medium
I still think we can receive more oppinions regarding ideas before
commiting.
Sol, maybe you can share a bit more about the inter-communities exchange
idea. I believe that it can have great impact, but we would need to
frame it so that the budget is not mainly used for flights. Maybe it can
be complemented by other budget sources and we can apply for the medium
10K grant for this.
I have created the survey so we can choose a date for our meeting:
https://framadate.org/lDDpFkTAVhHqrul6
(same time as usual)
Please complete your date options ASAP.
I left one week until the call ends so we can have another meeting to
work on the actual project proposals.
Cheers!
Nico

I agree on candidating LibreRouter for the big
grant, moreover i think
we
should add something like "Distributed Culture Repository Phase 2" to
the
community network friendly application cocktail
Cheers!

From what I understand, there's a medium (10K grand) and a small (3.5K
grant). We could apply for the medium one.
OK for me! Just to make it clear, for now NetHood doesn't need funding
and I would be willing to help another CNSIG member to write a good
application on this topic (for us it would be already a success if we
manage to support a complementary to our running projects effort at a
global scale).

Coenraad was the person in charge of the LibreServer side-project
during
the first LibreRouter cycle. I don't know of you are still in the same
location or not anymore, but it seems like a good opportunity to talk
about it.
Coenraad appeared as a "ghost" on the etherpad of our CNSIG panel (and
I
spotted him in the audience) but didn't see him afterwards and then he
disappeared again :-)
Whoever is interested on putting together an application on this topic,
please contact me to organize a short meeting to see which are the
options we have.
AFAIK, what he was able to do is exactly what you
are proposing: to do
an assessment of existing similar solutions in an organized manner. I
haven't seen the results of his investigation on this matter, but it
should be the natural starting point. Also AFAIK the budget for that
project is considered on-hold too... so that could also be used to
bump
this project if correctly managed. I feel we left Coenraad too much on
his own and that led to the project goals not being met.
Maybe joining efforts here can lead to a better result, after all
Cloudy
is a guifi.net initiative and well you are part of the MAZI project,
right? so... LibreServer + MAZI + Cloudy might be an interesting merge
of efforts which the CNSIG could spearhead if we can muster the will
to
I agree!
do it :)
So, anyone interested to reboot the Libreserver project with the
objective to bring together current efforts (MAZI, netCommons,
yunohost,
framasoft, etc.) toward an easy to install "local app for CNs package"
optimized for the librerouter setup?
Cheers!
Nico
