Re: [gaia] GAIA - Minutes from 19 July Meeting posted and Next Steps

Dear Jane & Kanchana,

Trying to understand a bit more on the format of the GAIA workshop at
AINTEC. Just an informal meeting like we had in Cambridge or something
more formal like the SIGCOMM GAIA workshop we had which had a peer
review process?

Regards

It's here: http://ictd2017.itu.edu.pk/ We've submitted a proposal for a community networking workshop there again with a regional focus, I think Kanchana and I should figure out how to host just one event in order to not split the community up too much. Thailand is definitely easier to get to but there's a lot of energy in Pakistan now so we'll hash it out.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to consider a meeting in Thailand right after Singapore IETF 100.   The GAIA meeting can be held during 18-19 November weekend just before our annual meeting AINTEC (https://interlab.ait.ac.th/aintec2017/).  For those interested in AINTEC,  our CFP is still open.

During the “brainstorming” segment of the meeting, we discussed the idea of an info doc on community networks/local access networks, focusing on sustainability and technical solutions, based on current network deployments.  Some suggested focusing on business models/sustainability models, other suggested highlighting tech solutions being used.  Is there interest in contributing to a new background/info doc, based on current deployments, containing “case-study” like info?
