Working with our local hosting partner AirJaldi, we convened over a dozen community technologists from across India and Nepal in the town nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas to get their feedback on OTI’s Commotion mesh technology. The workshop was an opportunity to strengthen not only the recent Developer Release 1.1 of the software, but also a global network of technology designers, implementers, and users who see users and communities as the prime source of innovation in information and communications technology.</p><p>Learn More:</p><ul>

It provides Internet access to the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY, and serves as a platform for developing local applications and services. Red Hook Initiative has built the network in partnership with the Open Technology Institute, putting human-centered design and community engagement at the core of the project. The community expanded the network significantly following a natural disaster in Fall 2012.</p><p>Learn More:</p><ul>

</ul><h3>Allied Media Conference</h3><p><img align='left' src='/files/magicnet_0.png' style='margin: 0px 20px;' width='200' /> Since 1999, the Allied Media Conference (AMC) has gathered an array of community organizers, activists, technologists, artists, educators, policy wonks and others to collaboratively design and explore media-based strategies for transformative social movements. The 2012 and 2013 conferences provided an opportunity to test Commotion in an indoor conference setting with hundreds of simultaneous users.</p><p>Seeking to expand the connective and interactive potential of the conference, the Open Technology Institute works with conference organizers from Allied Media Projects to install a wireless mesh network, providing conference attendees with improved Internet access and a suite of collaborative local applications and resources. The mesh network, MagicNet, successfully provides network access and interactive tools to hundreds of attendees over four days throughout the conference facilities.</p><p>Learn More:</p><ul>

</ul><h3>International Summit for Community Wireless Networks</h3><p>The first <a href='http://wirelesssummit.org'>IS4CWN</a> in 2004 launched what is now called the community broadband movement. Conversations and collaborations at the 2010 Summit in Vienna, Austria gave rise to two new multi-million dollar initiatives, the Commotion Wireless Project and <a href='http://confine-project.eu/'>CONFINE</a>. Both partnerships focus on the development of next-generation community networking technologies. Commotion and CONFINE have received major grants from the United States and the European Union, respectively, to convene partners from around the globe. With its strong focus on social justice and human rights, IS4CWN brings together participants not just from these projects in the US and the EU but panelists from the developing world who are interested in building and expanding community wireless networks in their own countries.</p><p>Learn More:</p><ul>
