Community WiFi summit in Denmark, 3-10 September
The Wireless4Development confernece (3-10 September 2004, Djursland, Denmark) is an activist summit wherein WiFi hackers of all description can plot the downfall of the Man and the rise of the unthethered network.
The wireless4development seminar & workshop brings together many of the people who are doing exactly that. Using low-cost wireless technologies to bring Internet connectivity to parts of the world, and to parts of society, where there are no real alternatives. For one week in September, wireless and free networking activists from around the world, will meet up to share skills and experiences gained in some of the most remote regions of the world. Participants have experience from some of the most innovative uses of Open Spectrum (license-exempt) wireless technologies, ranging from wireless connectivity at the Mt. Everest Base camp, over pedal-powered connectivity in rural Laos, to connecting local radio stations across Mali. These projects illustrate the true power of low-cost, locally run wireless networks.Link (Thanks, Thomas!)wireless4development will present workshops on a variety of subjects related to wireless community networking, and brings experts from around the world to discuss these subjects. Presentation subjects include Voice-over-wireless, Solar- and Bicycle-powered wireless networking and Mesh Network.
