[Battlemesh] Updates - Mesh is in the air <3 #ffwcw18 #wbmv11

[panayotis antoniadis]

Dear all,

A quick question regarding a workshop titled "the right to the hybrid
city", which I would like to organize in Berlin at some point in the
context of the netCommons project, http://netcommons.eu, and for which
the battle of the mesh seems a great opportunity.

The "vision" is to bring together digital and urban activists to share
experiences, challenges, tactics, and develop coalitions and common
strategies for claiming our rights to the city and the Internet (or what
we call the "hybrid city" [1]).

In practice, I was thinking to organize a 2-3 hour session framed as a
"get to know each other" roundtable half of which would take place in
C-base and the other half in Prinzessinnengarten. This is an urban
garden in the center of Berlin, 10min walk of C-base, whose wooden
structure "Laube" is a meeting place for many local urban activists like
the Neighbourhood Academy [2] or the Stadt von Unten [3].

If you think that such a workshop could fit the schedule of the battle
of the mesh (I was thinking that perhaps the last Sunday that is often
of "low energy" might be a good moment), I could go ahead and try to
organize it. Otherwise, I could wait for another moment.

Related to this, I am the coordinator of the "Social Impact" working
group (WG) of the CNSIG, http://cnsig.info, and the "right to the hybrid
city" workshop could be the basis for presenting (part of) the work of
this CNSIG WG. Depending on the interest from "your" side, I could
explore this option as well with the rest of the WG. That is, to
organize a workshop of the Social Impact WG which could include more or
less this "urban" dimension.

In any case, see you in Berlin!
