Throughout the day, activists and developers from WSFII (World Summit on Free Information Infrastructures) will tell their 'stories from the front' - sharing insights and perspectives on actually building Free Information Infrastructures in communities around the world.

A series of Wireless London workshops will provide practical, hands-on introductions on how to build your own wireless node and use it to connect your locality to other free infrastructures such as the ‘Free Map’ and other local information services.

Discourse Wireless

Future Wireless workshop: a daytime workshop on the future of wireless communications, hosted by Open Spectrum UK, will explore key issues of technology, regulation, society and culture. This workshop follows our successful Wireless Utopias 05 experts panel event at the Dana Centre in May 2005. This is the time to converse with one another, take stock of recent endeavours, and explore future wireless ecologies. Participants will include leading activists and developers from across the UK and London’s free networks and tactical media communities.

Wireless Horizons Panel: an evening public debate exploring the social, cultural and political contours of a wireless future - presenting perspectives from leading international cultural commentators, researchers and artists.

Creative Wireless

A programme of demonstrations and presentations will provide a meeting point between examples of community wireless networks, including a number of co-ops and use of innovative wireless mesh technologies that work, artistic projects that explore the potential of the technologies, and contemporary and innovative commercially led research and development of consumer products and services that utilise them.

Through an ACE application, Cybersalon supports research and development projects by three artist groups – SOMETH;NG, Taxi_onomy and Troika - to develop critical and constructive interventions into the event programme that highlight the potential of a wireless future. These interventions will be designed, developed and delivered by the artists and will aim to facilitate communication and exchange between participants and visitors at the Dana Centre, remotely, and at the other NODE.London events throughout the course of the month.
