Here’s Sascha’s message to the community:
Unlike a (big and impersonal) conference, this is a Summit — we’re interested
in quality, not quantity, of attendees. And we are capping the number of
participants so that everyone has a chance to be actively involved in the
discussions. Because of the cap, we want to ensure that everyone who came last
time is given a first chance to register for the 2nd Summit. As such, we’re
holding a “pre-public” registration period until January 15, 2006, after which
we’ll be sending out registration announcements widely. So please do not
forward this invitation to other lists, but feel free to send it to specific
individuals you feel would add to the Summit discussion.
Like the first Summit, we’ll be gathering in a beautiful building and location,
holding numerous small discussions and participatory panels, eating great food
(and drinking plenty of coffee 
, and hosting off-the-record evening socials
each night of the Summit. Focus areas for this year’s Summit include: Katrina,
lessons learned and next steps; how to fight back for public access to the
public airwaves; municipal wireless success stories and how-tos; the latest in
bleeding-edge wireless technology developments; (free) open source open
architecture wireless alternatives; and much, much more.
2006 is shaping up to be a huge year for wireless networking — and the National
Summit for Community Wireless Networks is going to be a key event that will help
set the agenda for further wireless growth.
See you there!

Summit Director
I am very interested in attending your conference. It might be too late for me to arrange for me to attend this year, but I would be interested in any future conference. I work for a small city in the Metro Oklahoma City are and we are in the process of designing a wireless system for our City. Please let me know about future meetings.
