[lime-dev] Fwd: [Battlemesh] Athens Wireless Summit 2015 - Call for Participation / Talks

Hi all! During BattleMeshV8 we knew some community networks activists from Greece, seems that there will be a talk about Libre-Mesh in the "Athens Wireless Summit 2015" [1]. Due to the lack of documentation they had hard time trying to understand/use LiMe. Let's write some documentation, I think that Libre-Mesh is stable enough!! (and, needless to say, the lack of documentation is damaging the project) Ciao, Ilario [1] http://events.awmn.net/wp/?page_id=54&lang=en ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joseph Bonicioli <nettraptor(a)awmn.net> Date: 2015-08-06 22:12 GMT+02:00 Subject: [Battlemesh] Athens Wireless Summit 2015 - Call for Participation / Talks Athens Wireless Summit 2015 Call for Participation / Talks Dear All, If you are involved in a community network, if you have deployed wireless or fiber technology for a community network, if you love the commons, if you are from the academia running a wireless or community related testbed, then this call is for you! We are pleased to announce that Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) is organizing a two day event titled «Athens Wireless Summit 2015». It will take place during the weekend of the 19th and 20th of September 2015 at Impact Hub Athens Greece. It would be our pleasure to have you there and we encourage you to participate with a talk or a workshop or both. What is it? The Athens Wireless Summit 2015 is a two day event which aims to bring people together, from the academia, the world of commons, open source and wireless networks communities and all those involved or interested in wireless network technologies, in order to meet with each other, exchange views and experiences, explore possibilities for cooperation and synergies and to promote the benefits of developing modern telecommunication infrastructure as an enhancement factor for a region. We aspire to include presentations, discussions, workshops, social events and exhibitions of wireless network technologies, the development of network infrastructure and shared services, the promotion of the social character on developing community networks by citizens for citizens as well as developing networks of active people around these; with examples like the cooperation structures that exist or can be developed between these communities in Greece and abroad. Where and When The event will take place on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of September 2015 at Impact Hub, Karaiskaki 28 in Athens. The entire building of Impact Hub will be available for the two day event. This gives us the opportunity to schedule both seminars and workshops in parallel flows. For more information about Impact Hub, please visit their site at: http://athens.impacthub.net Format and content of the talks We aspire to keep a balance between community networks, academia, everyday real community applications and related technology subjects. Subjects may be anything related to community networks ranging from applications, wireless technology, mesh protocols, testbeds, other routing protocols, social related subjects, IoT, related research subjects and anything that will make those two days productive, fun and beneficial to all. Related Talks or Workshops will be grouped together and be placed on the schedule in order to have cohesion of subjects and help participants choose their tracks. Finally we welcome proposals of anything you think may be of interest to community network enthusiasts. The format can be of any kind, for example a presentation, talk, discussion, debate, practical workshop, or film screening. The suggested duration for talks is 20 minutes where workshops can be arranged to take anything up to 1 hour depending on slot and space availability. Lightening talks Lightening talks are shorter talks which can be submitted after the main workshops/talks deadline, to give everybody the opportunity to present their project/idea. Each lightening talk will be 7 minutes long, followed by 3 minutes of questions.
