Dear all,

This evening we had the award ceremony in Brussels where the guifi.net
community network got the European Broadband Award from the European
Commission for its “innovative model of financing, business and
investment” https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/five-projects-got-first-ever-european-broadband-award
The video about guifi.net: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3HYeD4Lm4
A paper that describes its socio-economic and governance model:

If you come to the next GAIA workshop (London, Nov 30, colocated with
the ACM-DEV conference) you’ll be able to participate in a world-cafe
style discussion on socio-economic or business/sustainability models
of infrastructures and services for GAIA. Guifi.net, among other
initiatives, will be there.

I hope to see some of you in our next GAIA workshop,
--
