            1  +#+title: Community-Lab: Exploring the Future Internet on Community Networks
            2  +
            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  +- Based on open participation, open and transparent management, distributed
           12  +  ownership (a big step beyond private and state-owned infrastructures).
           13  +- These translate into open, free (as in freedom) and neutral networks, values
           14  +  akin to the Free software movement.
           15  +- The EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as fundamental for the
           16  +  universalization of broadband networking. *##*
           17  +
           18  +** The CONFINE project
           19  +- EU-financed project with several partners: CNs, research institutions and
           20  +  supporting NGOs.
           21  +- Mission: support the sustainable growth of CNs by providing the means to
           22  +  conduct experimentally driven research.
           23  +- Supports other projects advancing or extending CNs via financed Open Calls
           24  +  (now closed).
           25  +- Provides a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for researchers to
           26  +  experiment on real CNs. *##*
           27  +
           28  +** Community-Lab
           29  +- CONFINE's testbed: an environment built with real hardware taking part in
           30  +  real community networks to allow realistic experimental research on network
           31  +  technologies and services.
           32  +- Mostly like PlanetLab: global scale, with experiments sharing resources on a
           33  +  best effort basis, and as few hardwired management mechanisms as possible.
           34  +- Supporting the peculiarities of CNs: distributed ownership, fairness between
           35  +  users, diversity but also instability.
           36  +- All Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so
           37  +  you can use it to setup your own CONFINE testbed. *##*
