 Dear colleagues,

In recognition of the international nature of our field, and the
resource constraints that can stifle the exchange of ideas, the SIGCOMM
Executive Committee has set aside funds to support community projects
that will contribute to advancing the field of communications and
computer networks and cooperation within the SIG. In order to foster
cooperation and provide additional benefits to SIGCOMM members, SIGCOMM
solicits proposals for projects that could benefit the entire SIGCOMM
community. Possible themes for community projects include, but are not
limited to:  

- Improving and maintaining software that is vital to the community.
- Collecting datasets that are useful for the community.
- Understanding the SIGCOMM community and its evolution.
- Educational material.
- SIGCOMM video channel.
- Training students by reproducing research results.
- ...

Two community projects have already been funded after a first call in 2012 :

- Tools for OS-independent network emulation and high speed I/O (Luigi
Rizzo, University of Pisa, Italy)
- Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth (CRAWDAD)
(David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA and Tristan Henderson, St Andrews
University, UK)

The SIGCOMM Executive Committee encourages the submission of new
community projects proposals by January 20th, 2013.
