The WCC2007 is seven day camping with technicians, open-source users and organizers of diverse projects. 100 people from all over the world will share their knowledge about wifi, open-source and community networking. 13 - 19 August 2007, Oegstgeest, The Netherlands *Organization* With co-operation we are learning how to organize and build up the camp, and an extension of that is how to build up a local community to run a public wireless network. By sharing knowledge we can improve our skills. We learn and teach by hands-on practical training. We learn by doing. Organizing an event or project is a training in leadership. Care is a base to work and trust the good intentions of people we work with. Care creates safety to learn, to make errors and to correct them. *Program* We have an excellent training program offering all the knowledge how to start a public wireless network. Most of the knowledge can be used for other projects as well. The program contains the building of antennas and the usage of open source software to build wireless routers and servers. What we are going to do: 13-14 august building up campsite + opening session 15-17 august open source training program 18-19 august community event, antenna building and measuring The exact program still grows every day, keep an eye on it *Cornerstones* The WCC will be established at the lowest costs. This can be done by three important cornerstones of the Wifisoft.org triangle : * volunteers, * sponsors * and the community. *Want to help us out?* At this moment we are looking for trainees, sponsors and organisers. If you want to join please register as soon as possible. This is realy important to us. Sponsoring will be used in several ways: * especially for our foreign campers: help with tickets, visas and hardware shipping. * financial support for a webserver. * local support at the boot camp. We still have vacancies for talented organisers who want to improve their skills in our organisation. If you want to join please register as soon as possible. This is realy important for us. What you can do for us right now is: * register and become one of us * email this message and our flyer to your friends and collegues *The Wifisoft.org Foundation* Wifisoft.org is a not-for-profit organization that initiates, stimulates and evolves local and international cooperation between communities that administrate a public wireless network. The main infrastructure for Wifisoft.org is the Internet. On http://wifisoft.org, communities can create their own workspace. Besides the yearly WCC there are other smaller events focussed on optical links, and software development. Once a year we organize a Wireless Community Camp. Here we organize and facilitate lectures and hands-on workshops. We hope the see you at the WCC2007.
