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

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.

Hi all,
I think I forgot to share the link to the CN Manual here, due to IGF hectic days...
Here is the open access version of the Community Network Manual http://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/dspace/handle/10438/25696
Feel free to share it as widely as you want ;)
It has been great to seeing you at in Paris!
All the best
Luca
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.

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.

Thanks,
Félix

Dear all,
As some of you may have already seen on twitter<https://twitter.com/1lucabelli/status/1060240942240882688>, yesterday evening I received the finalised pdf of the Community Network Manual, which will be printed just in time for when I will board for Paris :)
As I previously mentioned, it is a pleasure to announce that the Community Network Manual is published in partnership by FGV<https://portal.fgv.br/en>, ITU<https://www.itu.int/en/Pages/default.aspx> and ISOC<https://www.internetsociety.org/> and features some truly excellent contributions from DC3 members, analysing how to build Community Networks and how to make them scalable, sustainable and law-compliant.
As a reminder, the book will be launched at our session on Community Connectivity: When the Unconnected Build Connectivity<https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2018-dc-community-conn…>, on Monday 12 November, at 11:20.
I look forward to meeting you there and I will bring as many copies as possible (at least 80) so that you can all have one. Of course, as all previous volumes, the book will be freely available, under Creative Commons License, and the online version will be released during the DC3 session.
As a teaser a further, below you will find the table of content as well as the early praise by Bruno Ramos (ITU) and Andrew Sullivan (ISOC)
All the best
Luca
"Community networks represent a valuable alternative model that deserves to be explored to improve access to Information and Communication Technologies to underserved communities worldwide. ITU is committed to connecting the entire world's people and this book and the work of the UN IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity offer inspiring and transparent guidance to foster digital inclusion."
Bruno Ramos, Director for the Americas Regional Office of the International Telecommunication Union
"Community Networks offer a credible solution for building a digital future that puts people first. This volume is a testament to the excellent work of the IGF Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity. It is a long-awaited guide that will allow many to participate in the Internet's evolution, building an Internet for everyone.."
Andrew Sullivan President and Chief Executive Officer of the Internet Society
