==========================================================
The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from Sun 1st till Sat

The event aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the 
performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, 
B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, and 802.11s. Of course, new protocols (working on 
OpenWRT) are always welcome!
It is not required to be active within the mentioned protocols, so if you are

interest in mesh networks in general, you have to check this out!
