*Symposium Announcement: "Together in Sarantaporo"January 15-17th 2016, Sarantaporo Area, Greece* With the opportunity of the kick-off meeting of the MAZI project <http://mazizone.eu/> in Volos, the Shttp://www.sarantaporo.gr/arantaporo.gr team organizes on 15-17 of January 2016 a 3-day symposium at Sarantaporo area in Greece to guide the MAZI partners and guests in the area and introduce them to this remarkable initiative in network commoning. Together with local actors we engage in discussions about the expansion of the network and its potential role as a common network infrastructure that can support local services of different types. MAZI <http://mazizone.eu/> (meaning "together" in Greek) is a new EU Horizon2020 project in the CAPS framework <https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/h2020-section/collective-awareness-platforms-sustainability-and-social-innovation-caps>, which brings together researchers and activists from various fields around the development of a DIY networking toolkit, and the comparison of its deployment in different pilot studies in Europe. The Sarantaporo.gr <http://www.sarantaporo.gr> non-profit, in collaboration with local actors and with the support of the CONFINE EU project, Greek FOSS <https://gfoss.ellak.gr/greek-freeopen-source-software-society-gfoss/>, and TEI of Thessaly <http://www.teilar.gr/tei_larissas/tei_gen_en.php>, has built in the area of Sarantaporo a modern wireless community network.
