Workshop Description

Coalition-Building for Community Wireless Networks (view program)

From left: Clauz (Ninux), ?, Roger (Guifi), Jenny (sudomesh)

Presenter(s): Jenny Ryan

How do free network projects create and cultivate collaborative working relationships with a diversity of community organizations? How do we find a balancing point between existing institutional structures and emerging grassroots endeavors? How do we create stronger relationships with each other for sharing our experiences, ideas, knowledge, and code?

The first half of this workshop will consist of a resource-sharing circle for briefly introducing ourselves, expressing our needs, and offering our knowledge, skills, contacts, and other resources for each other. Together we'll create a community asset map that reflects the larger ecosystem of free networks, knitting together a tapestry of the projects, people, and places where networks are beginning, burgeoning, and blooming.

The second half of the workshop will be a brainstorm/mind-mapping session, in which we collectively identify community stakeholders and personas. From there, we'll share our experiences with building bridges to other groups, teaching and learning from existing communities, and working through the intricacies of municipal internet policy, ISP regulations, and funding opportunities.

We'll conclude the hour with a breakout session of small groups if desired. Post-workshop reflection will take place on an etherpad and extend into hopefully long-term collaboration. The end goal is to learn and hone a technique for identifying community needs and solving problems through the structure of an egalitarian gift-giving circle, in which the primary intention is mutual aid.
