Your help to spread the word among your friends, colleagues and partners at Community Networks, small ISPs, NOGs, IXPs, participants you have meet at training events and conferences, etc will be really appreciated. They can help to promote the call in their communities, and they can apply themselves as well. Some of the best leads we have had in the past for good applications come from referrals from experts and practitioners like you ☺ If you can think of anyone that might have some interesting ideas on any of the two categories below, please let me know. I will be happy to follow-up with them and help them to prepare a submission on time for the selection process. Thank you all in advance for your help to promote this widely!
