University of Washington’s Allen School Seeking new PhD Students for Research in Universal Internet Access and Community Networking

by Kurtis Heimerl

Apologies for the wide posting but I feel like these lists have the kind of people we're looking for! Feel free to forward on if there are other communities that could be interested. The ICTD Research Group at the University of Washington’s Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering (http://ictd.cs.washington.edu/) is seeking qualified students, both from the US and abroad, with an interest in universal internet access and community networking to apply to the PhD program in computer networking. The ICTD group, led by Professors Kurtis Heimerl and Richard Anderson, has long worked on the problems of Universal Internet Access internationally, with deployments and projects in both the rural Philippines (in partnership with the University of the Philippines) and Indonesia (in partnership with Ob Anggen). As our research shifts to wide-area LTE networks and the infrastructure of repair, we want to find more motivated and passionate students with interest and capacity in the space. There is a particular interest in students with personal experience with hard connectivity problems. If interested, please visit the UWCSE admissions page ( https://www.cs.washington.edu/academics/phd). All students admitted to the Allen School Ph.D. program are guaranteed funding for 3 years in the form of a research assistantship, teaching assistantship or fellowship. All or most of the cost of tuition is covered by the assistantship or fellowship. If you have any questions, please direct them to Professor Kurtis Heimerl < kheimerl(a)cs.washington.edu>. A little about the University of Washington’s Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering: Consistently ranked among the top computer science programs in the world, the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering educates tomorrow's innovators and engages in research that advances core and emerging areas of the field. We also lead a broad range of multi-disciplinary initiatives that demonstrate the transformative power of computing and are nationally recognized for our success in promoting diversity. We are located in the spectacular Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the heart of the University of Washington campus in Seattle — a center of innovation in software, life sciences, global health, aerospace, and many other fields — where Allen School faculty, students, and alumni are making an impact and changing the world. -- Public Key: https://flowcrypt.com/pub/kheimerl@cs.washington.edu

Our website is outdated

by Raoul Plommer

Hi all, I'm in still in Paris, after a fruitful IGF and going through some of the contacts that I pointed to the DC3 mailing list. I think nothing has happened on the website for quite some time and I would like to point out, that I still have a sister site for the DC3 with Wordpress that I got up for the IGF in Geneva last year. https://comcon.nu I paid the subscription to it very recently and updated the site plugins, theme etc. I think we'd really need to get up to speed with all our new developments and post them on the website. As I understood, it was seen that Wordpress would enable more people to update the site so I think we should share some credentials to trusted people in this mailing list, so we can keep up-to-date with a crowd effort and keep informing our members and activists and new interested people especially. Nobody should have to do this on their own. We're hardly using our Twitter or Facebook pages either. They should post something general at least once a month, when we hear of new projects, publish research or setup events. -Raoul

Draft Guidelines to EU Policy-Makers on Community Networks

by Félix Tréguer

Dear all, At netCommons.eu, we're expanding on the open letter from last year [1] to move towards guidelines to European policy-makers on steps that can be taken to support the development of Community Networks and adapt the regulatory framework accordingly. The draft document takes stock of the new rules agreed upon at the EU level as a result of our work with European CNs and digital rights groups, using these provisions as a platform to start a dialogue between CNs across Europe and regulators. We will be releasing that policy brief next month. In the meantime, any comment/feedback would be greatly appreciated. https://etherpad.netcommons.eu/p/wp4-guidelines_policymakers Thanks, Félix [1] https://netcommons.eu/?q=news/open-letter-eu-policy-makers-community-networ…
