Battlemesh v13

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: Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX6, IEEE 802.11s, 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.

To get in touch via keyboard:

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).

What

In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks (see 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.

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.
