Last week, we were cordially invited to take part in the IETF 96 in Berlin with the exceptional support of Christian from ISOC.It was an interesting experience, a little bit daunting at first, but very valuable to meet the people that define the Internet standards, and to witness the consensus process in first person. Gui attended the event representing AlterMundi, along with Gio (core LibreMesh developer), Axel (BMX6 developer), Al (guifi.net member), and Lusy (Freifunk). We were very happy to […]
En las próximas semanas, AlterMundi estará participando de la novena edición del LAC IGF en Costa Rica. El Internet Governance Forum es un espacio multisectorial donde participan organizaciones de la sociedad civil, empresas de Internet y representantes del Estado. En ese marco, AlterMundi estará participando del espacio creado para las redes comunitarias, la Dinamic Coalition on Community Connectivity (DC3), tratando de impulsar discusiones que colaboren con la implementación y el desarrollo de las redes comunitarias y compartiendo experiencias con otras […]
AlterMundi fue seleccionado recientemente en los Premios FRIDA para desarrollar el “LibreRouter”. El desarrollo de este producto busca evitar sobre todo nuevas regulaciones de la Comisión de Comunicaciones de los Estados Unidos, que, a través de distintas resoluciones administrativas, está prohibiendo a los fabricantes de routers que dejen abierta la posibilidad de que sus routers reciban modificaciones de terceros. La intención de este nuevo proyecto de AlterMundi es diseñar y producir routers inalámbricos multi-radio de alto rendimiento para las necesidades […]
Hacia el final de Enero 2016, estuve 10 días conociendo a la gente maravillosa de la Cooperativa Maria Luisa Ortiz, en el pueblito de Mulukuku, Nicaragua. Compartimos una semana intensiva de capacitación de Red Comunitaria estilo AlterMundi, a fin de que aprendieran a montar todo con sus propias manos. La premisa desde el primer día fue que mi papel era facilitar el aprendizaje, y no montar ningún equipo yo mismo. El objetivo principal no era tener una red andando, sino […]

Hace un par de semanas, el martes 19 de enero de 2016, organizamos junto con Bruno de Nuvem.tk un workshop de GSM (telefonía celular) en Casa Nuvem, Rio de Janeiro.

This year we received funding from 3 different sources: «LACNIC’s FRIDA Award»:/article/ganamos-los-premios-frida-2015/, a «SEED Grant by the Open Technology Institute»:/article/community-technology-seed-grant/, and a «Flash Grant from the Shuttleworth Foundation»:/article/shuttleworth-flash-grant/.
Back in March, we outlined a roadmap with the activities we wanted to carry out along the year, and by combining the grants we managed to exceed our expectations! So here’s a quick retrospective on what was accomplished.
The meeting was in Visconde de Mauá, in a house surrounded by beautiful nature called Nuvem – Estação Rural de Arte e Tecnología. A rural hack lab where various people from different countries traveled to meet each other. What all these groups had in common is their work in community based information technologies in terms of WiFi networks and GSM networks all over the world.AlterMundi was taking part in this meeting, and got the chance to see how the FumaçaOnline […]

Back in April/2015 we were awarded a Community Technology SEED Grant, funded mainly via the Open Technology Institute and with support from Allied Media Projects and the Detroit Community Technology Project All in all, it has been a great experience, since Ryan, Andy and Diana were always available to help us meet the milestones we proposed at the beginning, and demanding nothing besides minimal paperwork. The grant explicitly required that all grantees (11 in total, including us) release under open […]
