Community Networks and University Of Guadalajara

by Maureen Hernandez

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a great hollidays and a happy new year. As you may know after IGF me and Nico Pace stayed in Mexico to evaluate possible alliances with the Universidad de Guadalajara (UdG) among its different faculties, here is a short summary: It is important to emphasize that nothing could have been possible without the guidance and constant support of Mr. Jaime Olmos, who is in charge of the Network Operations Center (NOC) at the UdG, he has managed to interview each and every one of the people we needed to know. Thanks Jaime !!! Virtual University of UdG and community networks: The UdG has a Virtual University (UdGV), with a subproject CASA: Learning Communities and Academic Services. This project is based on a physical Internet access center where people can be trained academically in the UdGV through the internet. After the dialogue with the authorities of the UdGV we agreed with the vision that these institutions serve as an anchor to promote community networks, sharing the connectivity they provide there with those that are formed. In order to move forward with this vision we set up a pilot program, a proposal where the physical infrastructure that the university has served as a link between the university backbone and the community network that it is intended to promote (using the Altermundi model), the university has Provided a strategic location where they consider that the project is viable and necessary, the community chosen is the "Casa Comunitaria" of San Antonio de Juanacaxtle, Jalisco (20 ° 32'46.5 "N 103 ° 09'18.8" W 20.546245, -103.155215) This proposal is in the stage of being discussed by the board of directors of this institution so we expect to receive a response next week at the end of the holiday period, however, the previous response of its managers has been quite positive. "Preparatorias" of UdG and community networks: The UdG also has a "Preparatorias" project similar to an us highschool, this project is consolidated and manages more than 300 buildings throughout the region of Jalisco, the idea with this program is that their physical infrastructure that currently has connectivity through the backbone provided by the university could manage a gateway to the community network of an isolated region. This project has also had a favorable response on the part of its director, this approach is waiting for an official meeting to present the structure evaluation of the pilot project. Curricular program in the UdG and UdGV with content on community networks: In some meetings with professors of the Engineering schools (CUCEI) and technology programs of other units (CUCEA) and in charge of the Information Technology Management Center (CGTI) we have agreed to collaborate so that their subjects and their programs include material on community networks and even the creation of proposals of thesis to involve the student population to be sensitized by the problems that we face. The UdGV has also agreed to create a special curriculum on community networks so that it serves as basic and advanced education for the communities that, through their CASA project, have created a community network, that is, to continue to strengthen knowledge and growth. Other approaches with the university community: Intermittent scenarios of connectivity and education: Those in charge of the virtual classrooms at the UdGV have participated in their concern regarding the problem of intermittent connectivity, so we have made available to their workgroup in order to find solutions that provide fault tolerance in their environments That the education of its students is not affected by these inconveniences, for this we have talked about local servers, synchronized stations of content, etc ... Low-cost self-contained laboratory: Another problem that we have been involved in is that the equipment to create laboratories in these communities is the high price of the equipment (medium-high ganna workstations), so we have considered the creation of laboratories of low cost and with autonomous capacity like for example: http://www.solarpoweredlearning.com/ This has been taken in a good way by those responsible for this program and we await their return from holidays.⁠⁠⁠⁠ We'll let you know how this is evolving. Any comments are welcome, greetings to all and happy new year, Maureen and Nicolas -- Maureen Patricia Hernández González Systems Engineer.

Quick personal notes/report about the unforgettable week we had in Guadalajara

by Leandro Navarro

Hi guys, after recovering from the backlog and jet lag, I prepared this document to share with friends, colleagues, and you. This is a first draft. I realized I could not summarize in words or just links the experience, and I'd even forget it soon. I hope it's useful and I think easier and quicker to have a rough personal view of all that instead of spending too much time in developing a consensus view. I'd appreciate if you have any quick comment, reaction, contribution. It was great meeting you all. See you soon, Leandro.

Fwd: [IAMCR] Release of First Monday special issue "'Reclaiming the Internet' with distributed architectures"

by Michael Oghia

Hi everyone, Some more interesting links for you. Specifically this paper: Local networks for local interactions: Four reasons why and a way forward <http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/7123> Panayotis Antoniadis *This paper frames the role of community (wireless) networks, and other forms of grassroots DIY networking models, as complementary to the Internet communication infrastructures hosting local services for facilitating local interactions, as drivers for a more convivial and sustainable life in the city. Today, only a few Internet-based global corporations mediate our everyday online interactions, without respecting our rights to privacy, freedom of expression and self-determination; they depend for their own sustainability on the exploitation of the immense collected information and design power toward private, commercial and political objectives. But when communication is meant to take place between people in physical proximity, local community networks can provide an alternative infrastructure owned and designed by those concerned. The paper analyses four key reasons, practical, social, political, and scientific, why such DIY networks should be considered as a viable complementary infrastructure for local communications even when Internet access is available. Through analogies with other relevant domains of local action, namely complementary currencies and cooperative housing, I conclude by addressing the dichotomy between local action and global coordination. I advocate for the co-creation of convivial ICT tools for building local communities, or better hybrid spaces of local cooperation, which are larger in size than the small in “small is beautiful” and smaller, but in many cases more diverse, than recent imaginaries of the “multitude”.* Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Francesca Musiani <francesca.musiani(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 12:51 PM Subject: [IAMCR] Release of First Monday special issue "'Reclaiming the Internet' with distributed architectures" To: announcements <announcements(a)iamcr.org>, ecrea(a)listserv.vub.ac.be, air-l <air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org> Dear colleagues, I am delighted to announce the release of the First Monday special issue "'Reclaiming the Internet' with distributed architectures" (the twentieth in the journal's history!), which I co-edited with Cécile Méadel.

Fwd: [ICT4S] 1st International Workshop on Design and Innovation in Software Engineering (DISE)

by Michael Oghia

Another potential opportunity, especially for those in Argentina and South America. Best, -Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Birgit Penzenstadler <Birgit.Penzenstadler(a)csulb.edu> Date: Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 11:05 PM Subject: [ICT4S] 1st International Workshop on Design and Innovation in Software Engineering (DISE) To: "ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch" <ict4s(a)lists.ifi.uzh.ch> ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Design and Innovation in Software Engineering (DISE) In Conjunction with the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) Buenos Aires, Argentina May 23, 2017 http://step.lut.fi/dise/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- The DISE (Design and Innovation in Software Engineering) workshop aims to attract academic software engineering researchers, designers from various communities and industry practitioners engaged in software engineering innovation and the use of design methods for co-creation and open innovation. We are interested in how we innovate in software engineering, meaning how we build and launch on the market new software products, systems and services as well as how do we develop the tools and methods required for their engineering. Innovation by design, design thinking, user experiences design, and design science research are proven methods for innovation. They have the power to supplement existing software engineering design practices. How are they used in software engineering is also a question this first edition of the DISE workshop will aim to address. What are the avenues from cross-pollinating design disciplines and software engineering? Innovation is vital for the long-term sustainability of any software development company and design for innovation is or should be a crucial stage in the development of any software product, system and service. As argued by Chesbrough, an open innovation pioneer: “companies that don’t innovate die” In the recent years, serious concerns have been raised on the failure of development processes, methods and tools to support innovation. The workshop aims to be a research living lab to answer these questions while building an academic research agenda and network on the design and innovation concerns in software engineering. Participants are encouraged to investigate multidisciplinary design research and design thinking approaches and their integration into the wider engineering and innovation processes. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from various fields to look across various design theories and schools including the traditional software design methodologies, innovation by design, design and system thinking and user-centric design, participatory design, eco-design and innovation approaches. The following are some of the questions that participants are invited to address: • How can design science and design theories provide guidance and inform more effective innovations in software engineering? • How can designers collaborate with software engineers so we can improve communication between design for innovation and engineering? • How has the science of design evolved from its beginnings starting from the pioneering work of Herbert Simon and how design can supplement the existing methods for design in software engineering? • Beyond the software engineering community, what is the current state of research in other related software design communities, mainly MIS, HCI, open innovation and engineering? • How can we integrate and cross-pollinate diverse design methods from different communities and how to align them with the wider engineering and innovation processes? • Which existing design and open innovation approaches are well-suited to study and model the large diversity of software systems and services? • Which promising (new) research topics and data sources can design and open innovation provide? • How can crowdsourcing, user-centric design and design thinking approaches be applied to engage stakeholders in solving software engineering problems while helping to create innovative software systems? We solicit: • Research papers (max 7 pages) that describe evaluated research. • Vision papers (max 4 pages) that show insights from other fields and how they could be applied to software engineering, or that propose a research agenda with a clear vision of what the future may look like in this area. Submissions due: Friday January 20, 2017 Notification to Authors: Friday, February 17. 2017 Camera-ready: Monday, February 27, 2017 Workshop Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 We are looking forward to your contributions!
