Are you active on Twitter? What about creating a new account for your community!
Have a look at The Things Network Amsterdam Twitter as an example. We have some guidelines for Twitter accounts:
Connect gateways
The Things Network is currently developing their own gateways which will be in retail near the end of this year. You can pre-order these affordable gateways in the shop already.
You probably don't want to wait that long. Happily, The Things Network supports different kinds of gateways like the Multitech, Kerlink and Lorank. You can even build your own gateway.
In case you already have a gateway, you can add it to the map.
COMMUNICATION CHANNELIn order to communicate internally, we highly recommend you to create a Slack group. It is a free messaging app that helps organizing your team conversation and allows you to directly reach out to members.
You can also use other ways of communication, as long as you make sure people have easy access to join the conversation.
Have you created a channel? Great! Please fill in the link below so we can add it to the Resources section of the community page.

UNLEASH TTN Ipswich
We would like to invite you to organize a launch event which is open for anyone to join. An open event is a great way to attract new contributors to the community and provides an opportunity to involve local press which helps in spreading the story of The Things Network even further.
You can find some tips for organizing a great event here.
See the press release of TNW about The Things Network here.
We recommend you to use Meetup for organizing the event. Other platforms like Eventbrite or Facebook can also be used as long as you make sure people can easily find and sign up for the event.
Have you set a date and found a location? Please inform us about it because Wienke, Johan, Rish or Laurens would love to (virtually) join the event. Please keep us up to date by sending a message.

Our intention is to provide the entire city with Internet of Things data connectivity.
The City of Ipswich represents the trend in urbanisation very strongly, with rapid growth from 190,000 to 435,000 people by 2031. Ipswich is a young city, with a current median age of 32 and a predicted 40% of the population under the age of 25 by 2031. These younger residents, or millennials, are digital natives, growing up surrounded by digital technologies. They have high technological expectations for the services provided to them in their cities.
Ipswich wants to reinvent itself from its current profile as a manufacturing hub towards becoming a strong digital economy. Ipswich wants to create an environment that fosters innovation to achieve better economic and social outcomes. To position itself for the future, Ipswich City Council has embarked on a Smart City journey with the aim of optimising citizen engagement and decision making, enhancing efficiencies in the city and generating new economic opportunities.
The journey to become a smarter city is part of Ipswich City Council’s broader digital plan. As the city pivots towards a digital economy, it has adopted a digital economic framework that comprises the following indicators: broadband, digital inclusion, knowledge workforce, innovation and advocacy. The City has one of the highest penetrations of broadband in Queensland, leading the way in high speed broadband infrastructure.
Furthermore, in March 2016, Ipswich City Council launched Fire Station 101, an innovation hub that provides a space, resources and a community for the city’s entrepreneurs. This demonstrates a strong step towards fostering innovation, creating knowledge workers and emphasising digital inclusion. The Smart City program aims to push the digital agenda forward even further.
