Hi,

i have spottet several Gateways in the last month in my local community (Landkreis Schaumburg).
All of them has disapperd after a few weeks exept of my own gateways.
This is the reason i am thinking about the creation of an own community section here in TTN Forum.
Most other local communitys are headed by some people within the commercial IOT sector.

At the moment i am not member of any existing ttn community next to me. So i have no insight in cummunity interal processes.

It seems that there is sometimes an overlapping with Freifunk communitys.
But even those are splitted in Schaumburg to Freifunk Hannover and Freifunk Bielefeld.

After this summary of my view of the local situation my questions:

Is it wise to build a community as hobbyst?
Does anybody have suggestions or experiences to get in touch with local TTN Users?

Somehow i presume that some of the other gatewy owners would’t have quit there engagment if there are other local supporter. Support with knowledge, hardware or coverage.
Let me know what you think.
This is a topic in Countries->Germany but anybody not only german can give advice.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Hendrik
