Hi All,
I would like to formally request membership to the Dynamic Coalition on
Community Connectivity.
It was a pleasure to meet many of you at the IGF in Paris.
I'm currently based in Berlin and wish to participate in preparation for
the 2019 IGF here in Berlin.
Name: Adam Burns
Affiliation: free2air / netCommons / MiCT / freifunk
Stakeholder Group: Civil Society
A little about myself:
Many moons ago (90s!), I was technical manager for early APC member,
Pegasus Networks, and cofounder/ex-director of the Australian ISOC chapter
Briefly & more recently:
- co-founded arguably Europe's first open access community wireless
group, free2air, working with other UK groups such as Consume.
- coauthored the picopeering agreement, and helped out in early freifunk
mapping & meshing activities.
- designed emergency radio network system for MiCT, now deployed in
Syria and other parts of Africa & the Middle East.
- Advisory Board member for the H2020 netCommons project.
Happy New Year to all!
Adam.
