= Battlemesh v13 = {{attachment:battlemeshv13_banner.png|attachment:battlemeshv13_banner.png|width=100%}} Email contact: v13 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 Service Providers, and more generally how to create and maintain a thriving community of people involved in building their own networks. We envision 2 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! You will meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations: [[https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/babel/|Babel]], [[https://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]] L3 and L2, [[https://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[https://open80211s.org/|IEEE 802.11s]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]]. <> == Important dates == The event takes place online on '''2020-11-14''' and '''2020-11-15'''. == Where == === Online === Battlemesh v13 will be a virtual event, hosted on a bigbluebutton instance. * Big Blue Button Event Room: '''[[https://bbb.exo.cat/b/bat-vdd-hha|Big Blue Button room]]''' * Streamcopy on Youtube: '''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNZfMF6AQoPvRL1Nc1kol5g|Youtube channel]]''' * Small Jitsi Rooms '''[[https://meet.guifi.net/wbattlemeshV13|Jitsi small room 1]]''' To get in touch via keyboard: * Chat: * Matrix (requires register, but facilitates follow up): https://app.element.io/#/room/#freenode_#battlemesh:matrix.org * IRC Chat (no need to register): https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=battlemesh&uio=d4 * Email: public mailing list https://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh * Twitter: https://twitter.com/battlemesh * Mastodon: [[https://toot.aquilenet.fr/@battlemesh|@battlemesh@toot.aquilenet.fr]] === Hybrid spaces === Despite being a virtual event, we provide here a list of suitable spaces for a "hybrid"-like event, where small groups of people can meet and participate. Please add the location (address, contact, max. number of people and available seats). * Zurich, L200. Langstrasse 200, 7-8 people. More info: https://langstrasse200.ch/, Contact: panos@nethood.org == 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! Full schedule: [[#Talk_Schedule_and_Workshops]] 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 v13 at battlemesh.org with the following content: {{{ Subject: Registration Name and/or Nick Other details you want to share: (e.g. community, country, URLs, twitter/mastodon handle, ...) Do you agree to appear on the public wiki list of participants? [Yes/No] }}} We will then put your name on the public list of participants: https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV13/Participants == 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:''' (01 November 2020) To submit a proposal, send us an email (v13 at battlemesh.org) with the template below. All information you give us will be made publicly available in the schedule, unless explicitely specified otherwise. {{{ Subject: Event proposal Name and/or nick Optional affiliation: community, country, employer...
