The Call is below
All the best

Call for Resources
*DRAFT*
Background:
The Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3) is a multistakeholder group, part of the
United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF), dedicated to promoting the discussion on community networks (CN). DC3 furthers analysis of how CNs may help create sustainable Internet connectivity
while empowering Internet users. Further information regarding DC3 can be found on the
IGF website as well as on comconnectivity.org
Previous DC3 reports, dedicated to
Community networks: the Internet by the people, for the people (2017) and to
Community Connectivity: Building the Internet from Scratch (2016), and
to are freely available under Creative Commons License.
Call:
The Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity, established under the auspices of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, invites all interested individuals to
submit papers describing how CN can be deployed and presenting technologies, toolkits and instruction for the concrete constructions of CNs.
This call aims at developing a brief CN manual, providing concrete guidance on:
·
What low cost hardware could be used to deploy a CN
·
What software and applications could be used to run a CN
·
How to install and configure hardware and software
Submission Guidelines:
Only papers providing instructions, guidance or describing concrete technological solutions will be considered for inclusion in the 2018 report, even if they have been
previously published.
The length of the submissions should be between 2000 and 8000 words. To facilitate the reviewing process, papers should not include author names or other information
that would help identify the authors. All submission shall be in English.

luca.belli@fgv.br
Authors will be notified within approximately 7 days from the deadline as to
