Hello, All –
Please find a grant opportunity: https://oc.telecominfraproject.com/opencellular-grant-program/
“OpenCellular Grants (OCG) is a program to fund, promote and accelerate the non-commercial development and deployment of OpenCellular (OC) equipment in rural areas where access to cellular is limited. The successful development and adoption of OC in rural communities could lead to significantly more people gaining access to cellular service.
The OCG grant program is specifically designed to address this opportunity.”
Data about OC is here: https://oc.telecominfraproject.com/opencellular-grant-program/

Hi everyone,
Earlier this year, I began the endeavor to build bridges between the
Internet governance / infrastructure community(ies) and the sustainable ICT
academic and research community. In many ways, current Internet technology
is not sustainable. This relates to overall lack of design consideration of
ICTs for sustainability (such as recycling or energy scaling), and includes
issues such as pollution, electronic waste (e-waste), and energy use.
Dr. Mike Hazas was one of the first people who inspired me to do more work
in this field, and he was the keynote speaker at a EuroDIG roundtable
workshop on sustainable Internet access held in June. After the session, he
connected with members of RIPE NCC's external relations team who encouraged
him to apply for one of the academic fellowships (RACI) to attend RIPE 75
in Dubai, and I am delighted to share his presentation and lecture:

I encourage everyone to continue to consider sustainability in all of its
forms going forward, and encourage discussions around this topic. I also
CCd him in case anyone would like to raise a comment or question.
Thank you,
-Michael

Hi everyone,
I was just introduced to a really cool, open-source project: Planet
Friendly Web. They have a host of resources and an open-source code library
seeking to help decarbonize the Web and make the Internet more
environmentally sustainable.
It might be useful for your networks, and I'm CCing Chris Adams who is
leading it in case you have any questions.
Best,
-Michael
