« VOIP 101 - On Skype, KaZaA, Napster and How We Deal With Change | Weblog | Stick to Your Knitting, Work Within Your Circle of Control » Practicing What I PreachI've been preaching the message of advance community involvement to better understand the purpose of a community network project, before it is launched. That's easier said than done. It's one thing to preach a general message and to spoon out advice, but quite another to roll up your sleeves and show how the objective can be reached. So, like Dr. Jekyll, I'm going to try out the potion on myself, and let you watch (let's hope that the analogy ends there, and we don't see Mr. Hyde come out anytime soon!). In this section, I will track my progress in working to mobilze Austin, Texas, to get a municipal wireless broadband network. So stay tuned. Step One will be to participate in a survey of Central Texas non-profit organizations, to assess their technology issues. I referenced this study in my July 9 blog How Do You Mobilize a City to Do Wireless?. As usual, I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions along the way.
