The Wireless Community Camp 2007
The WCC2007 is a wonderful week of cooperation education and care.

The WCC2007 is seven day camping with technicians, opensource users and
organizers of a diversity of projects. 100 people from all over the
world share their knowledge abount wifi opensource and community
networking.

13 - 19 August 2007, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands

Organisation
By cooperation we are learning how to organize and build up the camp,
and in extension of that how to build up a local communtiy to run a
public wireless network.

By sharing knowlegde we improve our skills. We learn and teach by
hands-on practical training. We learn by doing. Organising an event or
project is a training in leadership.

Care is a base to work and trust the good intentions of people we work
with. Care creates safety to learn, to make errors and correct them.

Program
We have an excellent training program offering all the knowlegde how to
start a public wireless network. Most of the knowledge can be used for
other projects as well. The program contains the building of antennas,
the usage of open source software to build wireless routers and servers
and .

What we are going to do:

13-14 august building up campsite + opening session
15-17 august open source training program
18-19 august community event, antenna building and measuring

three important corners of the Wifisoft.org triangle : Volunteers,
Sponsors and the communities.

The Wifisoft.org Foundation
Wifisoft.org is a not-for-profit organization that initiates, stimulates
and evolves local and international cooperation between communities that
administrate a public wireless network. The main infrastructure for
Wifisoft.org is the Internet. On http://wifisoft.org communities can
create their own workspace. Besides the yearly WCC there are other
smaller events focussed on optical links, and software development. 

Once a year we organize a Wireless Community Camp. Here we organize and
facilitate lectures and hands-on workshops. 

We hope the see you at the WCC2007.
