  resources on a best effort basis, and having as few hardwired management
  mechanisms as possible.
- However, it supports the peculiarities of CNs: their distributed ownership,
  the fairness between their users, and their diversity but also
  their instability.
- It's important to note that all Community-Lab's software and documentation
  is “free as in freedom” so you can use them to setup your own CONFINE
  testbed. *##*

** Community-Lab as community infrastructure
- Besides supporting experimentation, *##* CONFINE helps physically extend CNs
  not only with new Community-Lab nodes, but also with new links…
- … and even services hosted in nodes like web servers, video broadcast
  stations, etc. to be used by the community. *##*
- In a more sophisticated approach, nodes can also be used to implement cloud
  infrastructure provided and managed by the community for the community.
  This is the mission of the Clommunity project.
- Now, how does the Community-Lab testbed work? *##*


* Architecture and technologies
** Testbed architecture
- It consists of a set of nodes (managed by CN members) that follow the
  configuration in a set of servers (managed by testbed operators).
- All components in the testbed become reachable via a dedicated management
  network implemented as an IPv6 overlay. *##*
................................................................................
  implemented as light Linux containers.  We are also working on safe node
  upgrade using kexec. *##*
- The GUI and REST API in servers are implemented as Django applications.
- The IPv6 overlay used for the management network is a tinc mesh VPN. *##*
- Finally, we use Git, Redmine, Jenkins and our Virtual CONFINE Tesbed (VCT)
  package for development and testing. *##*










* Collaborations
- CONFINE actively collaborates to the development of several Free software
  projects: the OpenWrt router distro, the BMX6 and OLSR mesh routing
  protocols, the DLEP protocol for collecting link characteristics, the NodeDB
  for describing CN nodes, the lower-level Wibed testbed, and the quick mesh
  project distro.
- CONFINE also collaborates in events like the Wireless Battle Mesh and the
