If you enjoy pushing the limits of the open web platform, we want you to join us September 14-16 in the Gig City of Chattanooga, Tennessee for a weekend of good food, good friends, and — most importantly — a unique opportunity to get your hands dirty on a citywide, 1 gigabit per second network.
Sample apps
We're interested in demonstrating innovation in education, workforce training, healthcare, and other public benefit areas. We'll be prototyping using client-side open web technologies (HTML5, WebGL, WebRTC) and a local private cloud. The types of applications we're talking about include:
- •applications that require high bandwidth (100Mbps to 1Gbps)
- •applications using huge data sets stewarded by archive.org
- •applications that take advantage of layer 2 programmability/take advantage of software defined networking
- •demonstrations of the above running point-to-point with local anchor institutions (over community fiber or wireless)
