= BattleMeshV12 - Main Page = ---- Mailinglist: http://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh Twitter: https://twitter.com/battlemesh 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 ---- The event aims to bring together all people from across the globe that are interested in wireless mesh network technologies and community networks in general. 6 days full of expert presentations, late night hacking sessions, measurement campaigns, protocol discussions, and a whole lotta other meshy things. We will have fun, that's for sure. Meet the 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]] , etc.) and watch their ideas compete. <> == When == The event takes place between '''TODO''', 2019. == Where == Paris, France. '''The Recon Mission (consisting of Paul and Filipe) is on location between 2018-12-06 and 2018-12-09.''' ==== Some First Impressions ==== TODO == Participants == The event itself is free of charge and open for all! If you intend to come, please add yourself to the participants list: http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV12/Participants == 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. Besides, there is plenty of space and time and people for talks/presentations, cooperative hacking, and delightful conversations. == Call for participation == '''This is a work-in-progress call for participation''' === Introducing Battlemesh 2019 "Network Infrastructure as a Common" === This year's Battlemesh will be held in Paris. Besides the traditional "battle of the mesh" testbed, we invite participants to submit talks and workshops relating to '''network infrastructure''' in general, how it can be built and operated '''as a common''', and how to sustain a '''community''' around networking. Community networks around the world are transitioning towards fiber-based networks, either to directly connect end-users through Fiber-to-the-Home networks, or as a backbone for large wireless networks. Given the large investment cost and high longevity of fiber networks, several fundamental questions arise: who pays for the physical infrastructure? Who owns the network? What are the conditions for accessing it? How can we make sure that the network serves the common interest, by remaining accessible and affordable, ensuring no mass surveillance is possible, and providing universal coverage? These questions can also apply, to some degree, to wireless networks. We welcome contributions that broadly address these questions from any of several perspectives: technical, organisational, economical, regulatory, juridical. More precisely, this Call for Participation encompasses the following 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 - Local Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) as a way to relocalize interconnections - How to take advantage of this common infrastructure in ways otherwise not possible? What are the applications? - DNS as a common infrastructure? == Talk Schedule and Workshops == The schedule is being worked on here: TODO A call for ad-hoc workshops can be found here: TODO Final conference schedule will be made available here: TODO == Git Repository == See Github: https://github.com/battlemesh == Accepted Talks == TODO === Workshops === TODO === Technical Talks === TODO === Short Technical Talks === TODO ---- === Battlemesh Coversongs === TODO === Hardware === Please add any hardware that you will bring (and are willing to lend out!) to this table: || '''Name or handle''' || '''Quantity''' || '''Type of hardware''' || || ... || ... || ... || === Live streaming and Recordings === TODO === Announcement === This page contains the official Announcement: [[BattleMeshV12/Announcement]] === Impressions from previous Battlemesh events === * [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL23SZAHh0GAmT_BEmBb3TL1mXKxQrvV76|Battlemesh v9 Presentations]] * [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL23SZAHh0GAnL-KwAttHX8pINAjwN1lHs|Battlemesh v9 Social Moments]] * [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3bvPCw5QCLJXM4kqZlc_tgP1LrI8B2Dh|Battlemesh v8 Presentations]] * [[http://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjdaTaDJvaVzotzdFSpblCVegRpHgGPLG|Battlemesh V7 Video]] * [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=P2Aqeqy9pw4|Video clip from the mesh testbed installation for WBMv6 at Aalborg University Campus]] * [[http://vimeo.com/87030048|Another WBMv6 clip]] * [[http://vimeo.com/39412090|Video clip made at WBMv5 to give you a feeling what this event is like]] * [[http://vimeo.com/21953373|Video clip made at WBMv4]] * [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXFz6QdfgP8|{{http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/MXFz6QdfgP8/maxresdefault.jpg|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXFz6QdfgP8|width="250px"}}]] <> == Registration == The event is '''free of charge''' and '''registration is optional'''. But it makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you plan to come. Please send a mail to '''TODO''' that looks somewhat like this: {{{ Name and/or Nick Accommodation Package: [Yes/No] T-Shirt Size: [S/M/L/none] Other details you want to share: (e.g. community, country, URLs, twitter handle, dietary restrictions, ...) }}} We will answer with payment instructions for the accommodation package to those that are interested in one. == Travel Scholarships == {{{#!wiki comment/dotted TODO / NOT DECIDED YET: Thanks to our sponsors we will be able to offer a few travel scholarships (flight tickets) for non-EU residents. If you want to apply for a travel scholarship (compensating the costs of a long distance flight to Vienna and back) please explicitly tell us so in the registration mail. We will then ask you to '''prepare a short video message''' in which you are giving a brief introduction to yourself and your interests: * Where are you from? * Why would you like to attend Battlemesh? * What impact in your local environment do you expect from your participation? * Would you be able to attend without the travel scholarship? Send a link to your video to the organizers' mailing list, TODO '''Application Deadline:''' The scholarship application window closes on '''TODO''', so that we can confirm successful applications well ahead of the travel. Make sure to contact the organizers in time! }}} == Travel Information == Plane, train, bus, car, motorcycle, ...
