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 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
With regards,
Sarbani

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
