Be brave and dream! ;)</p>

<h3>What are we about</h3>

<p>Over the last two decades, the internet has become the glue that connects the personal, professional and social aspects of our lives. However, governments, militaries, commercial interests, and policing have shifted the internet and World Wide Web from being a free, decentralized global space to one of commodification and surveillance of personal data and activities, perpetuation of everyday and systematic modes of oppression, bias, and divided access and control.</p>

<p>Radical Networks invites the community to envision, learn, engage, and share work around the current state and health of the internet and the future of digital networks and the open web. It is a forum for people who are curious about what drives these technologies that we are all dependent on and what is the creative potential, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to create with these technologies and take ownership back.</p>

<p><a name="topics"></a></p>
<h3>Some possible topics include:</h3>
<ul>
	<li>Control and ownership of networks</li>
	<li>Offline networks</li>
	<li>Mesh and Peer-to-Peer networks</li>
	<li>Local networks for community</li>
	<li>Experimental application of computer networks</li>

	<li>Experimental social networks and platform cooperativism</li>
	<li>Speculative futuring or alternative histories of the internet</li>
