If other trusted people want the password for the account, please let me
know. I want this account to be an account of our community. :)

I agree with Anya's comments. The account was created by Raoul "in the
heat of the moment" during the IGF, but I think it's good to have some
discussion about the Coalition's presence in social networks in
general, what will be the message and the importance of localization.
We need to keep this in our agenda.
For the time being, Anya's concern regarding the phrase "We are building
a community driven internet" and her proposal to change this for: "We
are building a community driven networks" is an important and easy to
solve issue. Similar concerns came up many times during the IGF.
I propose if no-one disagrees with this change, to implement it. If
anyone disagrees, please explain :)
Cheers!

Hello DC3 members,
first I'd like to briefly introduce myself.
My name is Anya, I am part
of the Fonias Jurua research project at the State
University of Sao
Paulo (UNESP), Brazil. Our project is part of
Dynamic Coalition on
Community Connectivity (DC3) and we also wrote a
report "“Beyond the
last mile: Fonias Juruá Project – an HF digital
radio network
experiment
in Amazon (Acre/Brazil)," presenting Amazon
Digital Radio Network using
High Frequency radio band in the Brazilian Amazon
forest.
I would like to make two point about the DC3
twitter account. First, is
about the description of the account that says
"DC3 is the twitter
account for Dynamic Coalition on Community
Connectivity. We are
building
a community driven internet." I cannot
totally agree with the second
sentence of the description, as I think it
doesn't boil down to
Internet
only. Our project is working on providing
communication infrastructure
and connectivity to the communities that are
living in the under served
areas without any means of communication.
Therefore our first goal is
to
provide connectivity over the HF radio band that
is the only feasible
solution in the given geographical location, and
based on this solution
we are planing to then connect these communities
to the Internet. I am
aware of other community networks that are
focused on providing local
mobile telephony(e.g. GSM) connectivity, like the
Rhizomatica and the
Zenzeleni projects. So I think this twitter
account should not be
limited to just Internet. To me it's about
ICT - including other
information and communication technologies that
can complement and/or
go
beyond Internet (where Internet connectivity is
just not feasible yet
or
does not meet the community's needs).
Moreover, I think we should stay
inclusive and not exclude anyone working on
community connectivity
solutions. My suggestion would be to change the
second sentence to
something like: "We are building a community
driven networks."
My second comment is about languages. Many
community networks that were
presented at DC3/IGF sessions are from the Global
South and are local.
Moreover, one message that i took back from IGF
was that local culture
and local context are vital to address the needs
of local communities.
I
guess that the question we should ask here, is
which purpose this
twitter account is to serve and who do we address
with all that
knowledge we want to share about community
connectivity. Therefore I
think that even if we decide to keep this account
English only, we need
to think how can we include all those other
languages and not only
provide information about community connectivity
but make it accessible
to the people from all over the world in their
languages. Again, for me
this means being inclusive.
I am looking forward to your comments and
suggestions.
Thank you,
Anya Orlova
