= BattleMeshV4 = We would like to give to the 'Battle of the Mesh' the flavour 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 V4 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations (Babel, Batman, Olsr.org) and watch their ideas compete. If you have implemented an interesting mesh protocol capable of running on OpenWrt Kamikaze you can take part to the tournament. <> == Where == The BattleMeshV4 will be held at Sant Bartomeu del Grau (SBG for short), near Barcelona, Catalunia, Spain. === How to get there === * you can fly either Barcelona or Girona, both of them are the same distance to Sant bartomeu del Grau and both have public transport to Vic (the closest town to Sant Bartomeu where you can get by public transport). * From Roma there's a ferry to Barcelona, which is easy if you want to carry a lot of stuff. More details will come up [[/Location|here]]. == When == From the 16-20th of March 2011. == What == In brief: we will deploy a wireless mesh network over the neighbourhood, run different routing protocols on top of it, perform some tests and see which routing protocol behaves better.
