WHY MEET IN DJURSLAND?
During last years summer convention in Berlin Nils and Bjarke from http://djurslands.net showed us in an impressive presentation how to provide broadband internet access to one of Europe's least populated regions. With selfbuilt antennas, a reused fiber backbone and lots of enthusiasm they managed to set up one of the biggest free networks so far. Read more about the DJURSLANDS.NET.
Why not plan the next summer convention in Djursland we thought to share some of these experiences. Further information on the Djurslands project can be found in this article: ArticleOnDjursland. Also have a look at MorePictures.
