Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

gigabit-wordmarkThe Mozilla Gigabit Community Fund was announced on February 6, 2014 as a partnership between the Mozilla Foundation, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and US Ignite.  The Community Fund will support local innovators in Chattanooga and Kansas City as they build real-life open source applications for gigabit networks to foster the creation of next generation networks.

“We are thrilled that the Gigabit Community Fund is bringing together  practitioners and innovators from public and private sectors to enable novel gigabit applications for learning and workforce development. These new apps will have the potential to boost productivity and safety — starting as an experiment in these two communities and growing across the U.S.” – Farnam Jahanian, Assistant Director at NSF for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)

The fund will support applications developed in the two communities that have are rapidly deployable, reusable and shareable.  To learn more about how to get involved, please visit here.
