BattleMeshV5

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 V5 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX, OLSR) 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 BattleMeshV5 will be held at Athens, Greece. The exact location and instruction how to get there will be published on this site once the final confirmation is in our hands.

When

26 of March - 1st of April 2012

The space is reserved for the whole week so people will start gathering during the previous weekend. So if time is not a problem, we recommend you to travel some days ahead.

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.

Side activities will be organized. Workshops and talks on wireless topics are on the time table:
