Internet users worldwide need your help to make the Tor network stronger
and faster, so take the Tor Challenge today!..."
"Telex is a new approach to circumventing Internet censorship that is
intended to help citizens of repressive governments freely access online
services and information. The main idea behind Telex is to place
anticensorship technology into the Internet's core network infrastructure,
through cooperation from large ISPs."

Future Internet Solutions & Alternative Technics
A community effort to help Egypt to build a MESH Network. A Universal
case study, Get Involved:
- Links to articles - Make comments - Share your engineering thoughts
"TIER is a research group at the University of California at Berkeley,
investigating the design and deployment of new technologies for emerging
regions. Project areas: Distributed Storage, Education, Healthcare, Power,
Speech, Wireless."
"The Netsukuku project is based on the very simple idea of exploiting the
great potentiality of the wifi connectivity, making the PCs of wireless
communities act as routers and handle together an ad-hoc network even
bigger than the Internet."
"OpenNIC is an organization of hobbyists who run an alternative DNS
network. OpenNIC is owned and operated by the OpenNIC community.
Membership is open to all who share an interest in keeping DNS free for
all users. Our goal is to provide you with quick and reliable DNS services
and access to domains not administered by ICANN".
"Digitata.org plans to provide the resources and information to local
communities, NGOs, aid organisations on how to build a digitata and
technical specifications to manufactures who wish to support the
principals by creating the hardware. To become a central repository of
technical specifications and experiences to help everybody. The ultimate
vision to see digitatas grown all over the world where access to the
internet and teaching resources is limited, that children around the world
have the opportunity to discover technology for themselves. Achieving this
by means of low cost mass produced standardised kits which can customised
to their environments."
"Are we free on the internet ? - No we are not. We are under
surveillance. Can we create an infrastructure-less internet? An
Infrastructure-less civilization? - The technology already exists, may it
be mesh-networks on short ranges, or packet radios on long distances. The
less infrastructure, the more robust, check this disaster wifi coverage
devices!. Do we need the companies, the states, the militaries to organise
and moderate it? - No we don't. The whole open-source communities will
support this initiative, you will.
Can we can build a true civilian internet? - Shall we try ... ?
openet.org We may not have to re-invent TCP-IP ... "
"The SMAVNET project aims at developing swarms of flying robots that can
be deployed in disaster areas to rapidly create communication networks for
rescuers. Flying robots are interesting for such applications because they
are fast, can easily overcome difficult terrain, and benefit from
line-of-sight communication."
