Freifunkblog

The global freifunk newswire is back online. There were some problems with the newswire server in Switzerland. Alex Antener who is the main admin taking care of the server now switched to another provider. Unfortunately we lost some updates. I put in recently added feeds again. In case I forgot a feed or if you have suggestions for a new feed please drop me a line by using the contact form at http://kontakt.freifunk.net. Thanks for supporting me in keeping the service running to Alex Antener and Sascha Tamim Asfandiar!

In Katalonien findet im Juli ein interessantes Communitytreffen statt. Vielleicht interessiert es einige Freifunker.

This year, the traditional meeting for the free civil networks in Catalonia (SAX) will be extended to new contents, will take a week and will be extended to new participants worldwide and therefore affiliated to the WSFII (World  Summit for Free Information Infrastructures). The registration will be free and everyone interested in developing non-proprietary networks is invited.

The main purpose of the SAX & WSFII event in Catalonia is to empower and develop at all levels the civilian, open and free infrastructures as an alternative to the classic proprietary/corporate owned or operated network models. Around this objective, we plan to have presence with panelists from all the actors involved, including local government, enterprises of any size, regulator authority, and of course, the geek community involved in the research and development activities and the users in general.
