            3  +* Introduction
            4  +Hello, I'm (Speaker) from (organization), I work at the CONFINE project and
            5  +I'm going to talk you about Community-Lab, a community networking testbed for
            6  +the future Internet. *##*
            7  +
            8  +** Community networks
            9  +- Infrastructure deployed by organized groups of people for self-provision of
           10  +  broadband networking that works and grows according to their own interests.
           11  +- Like some Free software projects: based on open participation, open and
           12  +  transparent management, distributed ownership (a big step beyond private and
           13  +  state-owned infrastructures).
           14  +- These also translate into open, free (as in freedom) and neutral networks,
           15  +  values akin to the Free software movement.  Some have mutual agreement texts
           16  +  similar to Free software liceses.
           17  +- The EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as fundamental for the
           18  +  universalization of broadband networking. *##*
           19  +
           20  +** The CONFINE project
           21  +- EU-financed project with several partners: CNs, research institutions and
           22  +  supporting NGOs.
           23  +- Mission: support the sustainable growth of CNs by providing the means to
           24  +  conduct experimentally driven research.
           25  +- Supports other projects advancing or extending CNs via financed Open Calls
           26  +  (now closed).
           27  +- Provides a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for researchers to
           28  +  experiment on real CNs. *##*
           29  +
           30  +** Community-Lab
           31  +- CONFINE's testbed: an environment built with real hardware taking part in
           32  +  real community networks to allow realistic experimental research on network
           33  +  technologies and services.
           34  +- Mostly like PlanetLab: global scale, with experiments sharing resources on a
           35  +  best effort basis, and as few hardwired management mechanisms as possible.
           36  +- Supporting the peculiarities of CNs: distributed ownership, fairness between
           37  +  users, diversity but also instability.
           38  +- All Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so
           39  +  you can use it to setup your own CONFINE testbed. *##*

           39  +    - Fair to other users  
           40  +      (no low-level, disruptive experiments, no spying)
