= BattleMeshV12 - Main Page = ---- Public mailing list: http://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh Twitter: https://twitter.com/battlemesh Mastodon: https://toot.aquilenet.fr/@battlemesh12 Matrix: https://riot.im/app/#/login Room: #freenode_#battlemesh:matrix.org (connect IRC through Matrix) IRC Chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=battlemesh&uio=d4 Email contact: v12 at battlemesh.org ---- The event aims to bring together people from across the globe who are interested in community networks, including wireless mesh network technologies, fiber infrastructure, Do-It-Yourself Internet Access Providers, and more generally how to create and maintain a thriving community of people involved in building their own networks. We envision 7 days full of expert presentations, practical workshops, late-night hacking sessions, and fruitful discussions: whether you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, protocol developer, or have an interest in networking in general, come and join us! This year, we would like to expand the topics beyond wireless, with a dual focus on '''fiber''' and '''community'''. But you will probably also 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]]. <> == When == The event takes place from '''2019-07-08''' to '''2019-07-14'''. == Where == '''Le 6B''', 6-10 quai de Seine, 93200 Saint-Denis, France (very close to Paris). [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.93835&mlon=2.34259#map=18/48.93835/2.34259|OpenstreetMap]] [[https://www.le6b.fr/|Website]] The location is at a 5-10 minutes walk from the '''Saint-Denis''' railway station on the '''RER D''' line or '''Train ''', easily accessible from the center of Paris. Make sure to buy a ticket for zone 3. The closest airports are [[https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/passengers/access/paris-charles-de-gaulle|Paris Charles de Gaulle]] and [[https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/passengers/access/paris-orly|Paris Orly]], both 45 minutes away by public transportation. Another option is the Paris Beauvais airport, located 2h15 away from the event by public transportation. == What == In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks (see [[#CFP|Call for Participation]]). There will also be more informal activities: cooperative hacking, self-organized projects, and (we hope) delightful conversations! In addition, there may be a self-organized wireless mesh network, running different routing protocols to compare them. Please coordinate directly on the battlemesh mailing list to make that happen. == How to register == The event itself is '''free of charge''' and open for all! However, it makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you plan to come. To register, please send an email to v12 at battlemesh.org with the following content: {{{ Subject: Registration Name and/or Nick Date of arrival / departure Accommodation package: [Yes/No] T-Shirt Size: [S/M/L/none, man/woman/any] Other details you want to share: (e.g. community, country, URLs, twitter/mastodon handle, dietary restrictions, ...) Do you agree to appear on the public list of participants? Are you applying for a travel scholarship? }}} We will then put your name on the public list of participants: https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV12/Participants == Accommodation package == For those of you who are looking for a convenient and low cost accommodation option: we are negotiating a special group reservation. Please check here for news or sign-up for the mailing list for further details. The package is expected to include 6 nights in 2-beds or 4-beds rooms for a price range around 200€. == Travel Scholarships == Thanks to our sponsors, we have the opportunity to provide some Travel Scholarships to cover the costs of a long distance flight to Paris and back. If you want to apply, please explicitly tell us so in the registration email. Please also provide the location from which you will be coming from, and an estimation of the travel costs (flight to Paris and back). We will then ask you to prepare a short video message in which you are giving a brief introduction to yourself and your interests. <> == Call for participation == We invite participants to propose workshops, talks or panel discussions relating to '''network infrastructure''' in general, how it can be built and operated '''as a common''', and how to sustain a '''community''' around networking. We welcome contributions that broadly address these questions from any of several perspectives: technical, organisational, economical, regulatory, juridical, political.  Example topics: * Wireless Community Networks * Community Networks that deploy Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks * TV white space as a precious network resource (radio spectrum) * Free hardware and free software for Community Networks * How to organize a durable community structure? * How to involve non-technical people? To "digital stewardship" and beyond? * How to disseminate the spirit of community networks, knowledge etc? * Connecting rural areas: challenges and solutions * Public fiber networks: architecture, funding, private actors involved, oversight * Internet of Things (IoT) networks and their impact on society * How to take advantage of a community network in ways otherwise not possible? What are the applications? * Local Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) as a common infrastructure * DNS as a common infrastructure? '''Deadline:''' 6 May 2019 To submit a proposal, send us an email (v12 at battlemesh.org) with the template below.
