hi friends
the c-base has a problem...
cheers

########################################

"c-base space station", which is a vital part of Berlin's governmentally 
unfunded subculture,
is under pressing threat of closure. Until July, 31th 2007 we have to 
come up with several months'
worth of outstanding rent, otherwise we'll be evicted and the space 
station will have to close.

If that happens an important and fertile ground for ideas and projects 
(e.g. berlin's free wavelan
networks "freifunk.net" and the wikipedia regulars' table ), event 
location (e.g. exhibitions, concerts,
open stage sessions) and space for open knowledge transfer and last but 
not least a home for creatives,
utopians and space cadets will dissapear from berlin's cultural landscape.

YOU can help to avoid this, by getting engaged and involved: drop by at 
our facilities in Rungestrasse and
participate, become a member or just go online and hit the donation 
button on http://c-base.org

FYI,

The release was made available on http://www.olsr.org
a couple of days ago, but the mail did not make it to the
lists due to some server miss configurations.

hi

The Chaos Communication Camp 2007 [camp07] will start "in few days" near
berlin ...

http://events.ccc.de/camp/2007/Chaos_Communication_Camp_2007

Right now, people from different freifunk/freenetworkers-cccommunities,
are tying to "organize"  ;-)  the *Wireless:Village at the campside.
There is a wikipage, to do it in the way and spirit, of the
"What the Hack - WirelessVillage", 2 years ago in the netherlands.

If you or your community will join the Wireless:Village, it would be
nice to leave a note in the wiki.
https://events.ccc.de/camp/2007/Wireless:Village

The Wireless:Village and the whole camp/wiki lives from your ideas,
input and projects.
please write your content or whatever, under one of the subjects, or
just start a new one.

You can also connect some of us in the IRCNet #freifunk
      * irc.fu-berlin.de irc.tu-ilmenau.de irc.uni-erlangen.de
      * uk.ircnet.org
      * irc.xs4all.nl


more foo soon  ;-)

cheers
