FreedomBox for Communities

Introduction
FreedomBox for Communities is a creative adaptation of the FreedomBox server software and other free software servers for use in community Wi-Fi networks. The goal is to build community-owned and community-maintained wireless networks that can reduce dependence on both the centralized telephone networks as well as the cloud services provided by big Internet companies. It is a combination of hardware and free software that can provide for all the digital needs of a community. It also helps in keeping the data private and within the community and thus can be used in situations where data privacy is critical, like in hospitals and law firms.
