= BattleMeshV10 = We would like to give to the 'Battle of the Mesh' the flavor of 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 find this bunch of crazy folks gathering for the Wireless Battle of the Mesh V10 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations ([[http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/babel/|Babel]], [[http://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]] L3 and L2, [[http://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[http://open80211s.org/|IEEE 802.11s]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]]) and watch their ideas compete. If you have implemented an interesting mesh protocol capable of running on !OpenWrt Chaos Calmer (14.07) you can take part in the tournament too. <> == When == /* The event takes place on the following dates: TODO */ Our options are April 3-9, June 5-11, or June 19-25. Please vote for your preferred dates here: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/WBMv10_Date_Poll/ == Where == [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/109166|Vienna, Austria]] [[http://www.volkskundemuseum.at/jart/prj3/volkskundemuseum/main.jart?content-id=1377520150937&rel=de|Volkskundemuseum - The Austrian Museum of Folk Life And Folk Art]] [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/666750600#map=18/48.21298/16.35052|Address: 1080 Vienna, Laudongasse 15-19]] This is an old musuem with an adjacent, quiet park area in the city center. Inside we can use one big lecture hall with more than 90 seats, and two smaller hacking areas right next to it. Also, the local hackspace [[https://metalab.at|Metalab]] is located nearby (see [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/345700386|map]]). === Some first impressions === http://www.volkskundemuseum.at/jart/prj3/volkskundemuseum/main.jart?content-id=1377520150937&rel=de === Accommodation and Food Supply === TODO === Participant Registration and Fee === The event itself is free of charge and open for all! '''If you intend to come (with or without hotel reservation), please add your name to the [[http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV10/Participants|BattleMeshV10 participants list]].''' If you are living outside Europe and plan to come, please also check the [[BattleMeshV10/SponsoredTravels|Travel Scholarship Page]]. Once we received your payment, your name will be added to the list of confirmed attendants. If your name does not appear as confirmed within 7 days after wiring the money, feel free to mail the local organization team: TODO Account Details: {{{ TODO }}} If you need an invoice, or can not make the payment through bank transfer and would like to do it via paypal, please get in touch: TODO Of course, this package is not compulsory. You can also find your own bed and food supply yourself during the event if you wish to do so. There are a number of hostel and hotels available, but keep in mind that they tend to be rather booked during summer. === Directions === You can reach Vienna via international travel: * by plane to [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/62823673|Vienna International Airport]] (IATA code VIE), http://viennaairport.com/ * by train or night train to [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1839787470|Wien Hauptbahnhof]], the city's central station, * by bus to, e.g., [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/227115468|Vienna International Bus terminal]], * by car or motorcycle. If you plan to use highways ("Autobahn" and "Schnellstraße"), you will need to pay the [[http://www.vignette.at/maut/vignette|highway toll]]. It's probably best to park in a parking deck at the perimeter of the city (see e.g. [[http://www.parken.at/|these]]) and then use public transport to get into the city. (Some travel organizations might route you via Bratislava in Slovakia which is ~50km from Vienna, and well-connected by bus and train). A single fare in Vienna's public transportation system costs 2.20 Euro and entitles you to a loop-free, single-direction, one-way trip including changing lines (city train, metro, tramway, bus). Note that the airport is located outside of the city, so the fare is twice that! There's also a full-week ticket for 16.20 Euro, see the [[https://shop.wienerlinien.at/index.php/product/7/show/0/0/0/0|transport company's web page]]. == What == In brief: We will deploy a wireless mesh network all over the place, run different routing protocols on top of it, perform some tests and see which routing protocol behaves better.
