The Free Software / Open Source Software Company (GFOSS) in collaboration with the Sarantaporo.gr team are organizing a workshop on Sunday, July 21st at the Pantelopoulos Cultural Center of Sarantaporo village on “Sarantaporo.gr Wireless Community Networks - Modern citizen-to-citizen infrastructure”.
The purpose of the workshop is to inform how a wireless internet access network is designed, implemented and operates based on the experience of the Sarantaporo.gr team that implemented the wireless networking of 15 villages in the greater Sarantaporo area as part of the GFOSS Open WiFi action.
The Sarantaporo.gr team’s proposal for further development of the wireless networks in the area will also be presented and an effort will be made to mobilize the local community to set up support groups in each village, where a wireless network is installed. These technical support teams will have the opportunity to be trained and in collaboration with the Sarantaporo.gr team will have the responsibility of maintaining and developing their village’s network. At the same time, ways of working with local stakeholders will be explored in order to "embrace" this effort and support it for its further development.
