Hello list,

the battlemesh v7 call for talks is out, it would be great to see your WiFi/Mesh related talks and workshops in Leipzig this year. :)

If you haven't booked a hotel yet, have a look at the accomodation package [1], where you can get bed and breakfast for the whole week (early bird price for 150EUR until Feb 15th). The event itself is free of charge.

Cheers, Simon

Do you have an idea or project related to mesh routing protocols? Are you involved in a community networking project that uses a mesh network? Are you aware of a related issue that you think should be discussed?

Your workshop or presentation proposal is welcomed to BattleMeshV7 Leipzig!

What is Battlemesh?

The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing together people from across Europe and beyond to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, 802.11s and Static Routing.

It is a tournament with a social character. If you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh networks you might want to check this out !

The goal of the WirelessBattleMesh events is to set-up hands-on testbed for each available mesh routing protocol with a standard test procedure for the different mesh networks. During the different WBM events, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based on the OpenWRT BoardSupportPackage and packages for each protocol implementation. The WBM events are also a great opportunity to develop testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY analyzers) .

This years Battlemesh will take place from 12 - 18 May 2014 in Leipzig, Germany at the Sublab, Karl-Heine-Straße 93, 04229 Leipzig.

Format and topic of talks

Workshops or talks relating directly to open source mesh routing protocols will be prioritised, but we welcome proposals of anything you think may be of interest to mesh routing and community networking enthusiasts.

They may take any format, for example a presentation, talk, discussion, debate, practical workshop, or film showing.

To get an idea of the kinds of talks and workshops at the previous events, see http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV6/Agenda, http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV5/Agenda and http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV4/Agenda
