Fwd: All frequencies hailing!!! Berlin's c-base fighting for survival.

[vortex]

c-base needs your help and attention for its continued existence.

to my knowledge, no other independent group in europe has done more  
for research and inspiration into the field of open wireless networking.

from promotion of German designed and acclaimed meshcubes, to  
promoting research and experimentation with wardriving, wireless  
mapping, wireless meshing, OLSR, and more recently a possible  
successor B.A.T.M.A.N.

weekly events including wireless antenna building workshops have been  
held there regularly for years.

3d artists, musicians, gaming freaks, wireless networkers, embedded  
hackers, caffeine freaks and more have all regularly used the  c-base  
and the cross-disciplinary cooperation and cross-talk is unique to c- 
base.

 From the initial BerLon (Berlin/London) meeting that spawned the  
Picopeering agreement framework (that inspired the FNPA), to being  
critical in the formation of "freifunk.net" the on-going importance  
of incubating ideas that eminates from c-base cannot easily be  
overestimated.

If you've ever visited c-base and experienced their extraordinary  
hospitality, please consider a symbol of gratitude in terms of a  
donation, as they really need it now.

If you haven't, then please consider taking a little time to research  
the real impact that c-base has made on community wireless networking  
globally for many years, and consider a small token of thanks to help  
support their continued operations.

thanks &

shine,

hi wsfii

"c-base space station", which is a vital part of Berlin's  
governmentally unfunded subculture,
is under pressing threat of closure. Until July, 31th 2007 we have to  
come up with several months'
worth of outstanding rent, otherwise we'll be evicted and the space  
station will have to close.

If that happens an important and fertile ground for ideas and  
projects (e.g. berlin's free wavelan
networks "freifunk.net" and the wikipedia regulars' table ), event  
location (e.g. exhibitions, concerts,
open stage sessions) and space for open knowledge transfer and last  
but not least a home for creatives,
utopians and space cadets will dissapear from berlin's cultural  
landscape.

YOU can help to avoid this, by getting engaged and involved: drop by  
at our facilities in Rungestrasse and
participate, become a member or just go online and hit the donation  
button on http://c-base.org

thx
	cven
