Hi All –

Perhaps we invite Stuart and Don Means (as he has done lots of work with libraries and TVWS advocacy) to the next call?

We give them each 15-20 minutes to tell us about engagement opportunities and points of contact?

Just a thought?

Best,

Jane

Hi all

It would be great if we know that IFLA is working in India too. We have some networks which are working in public libraries. Would like to explore more collaborations and opportunities.

    Hi, an update ... After looking for direct or indirect contacts with the
    elected president of IFLA I sent her this email below (translated from
    Catalan). She already replied that she's away but we'll talk when she's
    back.

    A rough translation of my message:

    Hi Glòria, I am a researcher at  UPC and do research community networks.

    At the last IGF in Guadalajara (MX) we had the opportunity to speak with
    Stuart Hamilton on the issue of universal access to the Internet
    (Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity). We both agreed that
    community networks (communication networks created and managed by the
    citizens themselves) as libraries share some values and objectives in
    this regard. We said it could be useful to contact you in your role as
    president. In addition, in Catalonia we have one of the world's largest
    community network, guifi.net, with more than 32,000 nodes.

    Here is a video that has been done to explain the relationship between
    libraries and community networks (especially in rural areas) here in the
    context of guifi.net:
https://guifi.net/ca/node/94246

    A research article that explains guifi.net in great detail:

    If you see something interesting and want to discuss ideas for
    collaboration we can meet. Roger Baig and Roger Pueyo in copy from the
guifi.net Foundation (https://fundacio.guifi.net)

    Sincerely, Leandro.
