Thanks Nico,
I also think it is still worth looking into an exchange project, and happy
for it to be a medium grant, maybe supported by APC travel funds. I need to
look at the grant docs in more detail but in my mind the objective is still
relevant - focused on advancing our collective knowledge and experience in
deploying CNs and increasing value for users/ participants. I think we need
to spend some time refining the product of this exchange, and make sure it
is "transferable" as per the grant requirements. I think a hand book of
sorts is more in line with this. One point I'd like to make is that I am
pretty snowed under at the moment and I cant lead this proposal, but very
happy to put in some quality time into it.
I have put my preference in the doodle. Let's define in the meeting who is
interested in what project, and if its two clear groups we can split up, if
its one we can stay together.
Cheers,
Sol

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!

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
