Community networks indroduction video project

by Libre Ws

Hi guys, I've been invited to the community networks summit in Africa (we are actually ending it right now), but a nice idea came to my mind that I want to share with you. For those of you that are community network representatives, I would like to ask you if you can make a short video (1 min tops) were you tell: * Name * CN name * Where are you from * Any message for the rest of us, could be a request for the rest, a greeting, a nice message, whatever you feel is nice for the rest to hear That will allow all of us to understand the dimensions of this global community we are building, and to feel more close to each other. For those that are CN promoters, please let them know and would be great to know about them! Thanks for reading :) -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Please introduce yourself :)

by Libre Ws

It happened to me today that Judith kindly supported my proposal for the CN videos, and I was surprised (and embarrased somehow) to find out that I don't recall her (or know her at all). That made me think that there are so many people in this list that I don't know (and that they don't know me), so I would like to encourage you to share a little bit about yourself so we can understand who are we speaking to when we speak here :) We should try to send this mail every now and then to ensure everyone that wants to be known is :) So, respecting my own request, will do my homework and introduce myself, and you can use mine as a template if you want My name is Nicolas Pace, I'm from Argentina, and my relationship with community networks comes because I am part of AlterMundi, an NGO that promotes CNs worldwide. Regards PS: this may also work as a meter on how engaged we are with dc3 :) -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
