Just to elaborate … for example it says that security is a property of the network just like it was in the days of SS7. But with the Internet security is not a property of the network but is about the trust relationships between the end points. In fact putting security in the network breaks the design of the internet by putting a third party in the middle of every relationship.

 

I sometimes try to address these conflicts in my own IEEE role with the Consumer Electronics society as a member of the board of governor and an IEEE Fellow. In my talk on Monday I tried to explain how the Internet was a discontinuity from the traditional networks.

 

While many of the technical details of the report are correct one must be wary about how the dots are connected.

To be direct – remember that the IEEE is very much associated with the old school telecommunications narrative.

Hi all

 

I am sharing DEF's course on wireless networking that is also accredited by IEEE.

Hi guys

 

I would also like to share our W4C manual which is already accredited by IEEE and videos of our network which are based in India. 

 

I would be interested to know IFLA is interested to do pilot library project in some libraries of India.

 

Regards

Ritu

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you the outcomes of the meeting with Stewart of IFLA (Global federation of Libraries).

The email I sent to them is below.

Hi Guys,

 

I just wanted to brief everyone about what I spoke with Stewart.

Basically, we are all on the same page.

Just to have a little background:

  * IEEE is a community of more than 400,000 Engineers distributed all around the world

  * IFLA is a community of more than 300,000 Libraries distributed all around the world

  * DC3 is the Dynamic Coalision on Community Connectivity that gathers all Community Networks (CN for short) around the world

This is what we agreed upon:

  * IFLA, IEEE and DC3 agree on the aproach of bottom-up community networks as a way to grow Connectivity around the world.

  * IFLA, IEEE and DC3 agree on making a pilot where IEEE Engineers, DC3 Advocates and IFLA Librarians work together to help a willing community to build a Community Network around onf IFLA Library.

  * IFLA, IEEE and DC3 agree on the strategy of promoting the grow of internet throu the promotion of Community Networks around the globe with the help of IEEE Engineers throu IFLA Libraries.

  * As a long term vision, IFLA Libraries will give DC3 Courses on Community Connectivity with the help of IEEE Engineers and DC3 Advocates to promote Community Networks.

 

Stewart and I have drafted these next steps:

  0. Nico will create a mailing list for us to work on this relationship

  1. Nico will send the basic DC3 materials needed to understand what Community Networks are

  2. Nico will build a small video about the experience of Guifi.net and Libraries, an interview about what a CN is, what Guifi is and how did the relation with Libraries worked out

  3. Stewart will share this with IFLA representatives

  4. Stewart will identify individuals and organizations within his community for potencial work

  5. Stewart will contact DC3 (Nico) and IEEE to coordinate on where we can do the pilot

  6. Then discuss next steps

 

I guess we should also build a tentative roadmap for IEEE-DC3 relationship also.

 

Great working session Stuart, Karen and James!

 

Hope to read you soon!
