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). >> it could just involve the assessment of >> existing solutions, guifi's cloudy, https://cloudy.community/, the >> MAZI >> toolkit, http://mazizone.eu/toolkit, yunohost, and other "meta" >> platforms and put together some of these in a nice "package" with >> improved multi-lingual documentation. >> >> And since the netCommons and MAZI EU projects have already funding to >> do >> exactly this, we could present it as a complementary project that >> builds >> on existing efforts at the EU level, helping for their sustainability >> (those project finish at the end of 2018) and adoption, through the >> "librerouter" package.

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.
