[Berlin-wireless] PicoPeering mini-unConf 2024

[xetrov - vortex]

Hi all ...

Join us on Fri/Sat for a gathering of PicoPeers!

During 2002-3, around the time Freifunk was forming, a group of early 
open wifi activists from London & Berlin came together to exchange 
knowledge and experience in building and establishing Community Wireless 
Networks. A simple document, the PicoPeering Agreement, was co-authored 
to clearly state expectations and obligations in participating in such 
community networks and to facilitate furher wider connectivity.

Today, Freifunk and many community networks around the world use the 
PicoPeering Agreement as a foundational document for their activities.

On Friday May 17 & Saturday May 18 many of the original geeks, activists 
and artists along with other interested people are meeting in Berlin 
once again, to reflect and celebrate the past, examine and question the 
document in the context of the present, and discuss future improvements 
and possibilities.

We invite all interested picopeers and friends to come and participate 
in this informal event.

- When:  Sat 18 May
- Where: Rooftop above c-base, Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin
- Remote: https://jitsi.c-base.org/PicoPeers

The majority of the informal talks, discussions and remote video links 
to the Battlemesh conference and other community network activists will 
be held on Saturday May 18 from about 12:00 onwards. There will be a BBQ 
too.

There will be an informal planning and hacking day on Friday May 17th to 
meet and greet, collaboratively plan Saturday's proceedings, and to 
explore other emerging tech such as LoRa.

All are welcome to attend.

Free entry to all peers of course, but any/all contributions to help 
cover event costs are welcomed.

- c-base has kindly offered to help to organise the space availability & 
some setup/teardown. Many thanks to cven & others.

- Freifunk has offered to contribute the costs for the rooftop venue. 
Many thanks to Andreas Bräu for making this happen.
