[wsfii-discuss] WSFII Summit in Catalonia by the end of April 2.007 (27th-29th)

Tue Dec 5 09:17:11 UTC 2006

Hi

it is great that the event date has been set early. One problem which 
I have had in attending such meetings is that I am really not rich and 
it is not always possible to pay for my own flight, etc. This time 
maybe the organisers can issue invitation letters, then me and 
possibly others could seek funding to get there.

for those who dont know me: I have written abook on free networks 
(in German) in 2003 which you findn here among other places

http://theoriebild.ung.at/view/Main/FreieNetze

and I continue to write texts about respective issues. some english 
texts can be found here:

In order to justify attendance of declared non-Geeks such as me I 
suggest that we should have also a sort of meta-reflective track 
which could be about issues such as picopeering agreement, 
community, net-neutrality, spectrum, inter-national inter-organisation 
(networking of networks) etc.

Armin
