BattleMeshV6 (TODO TODO TODO)

We would like to give to the 'Battle of the Mesh' the flavor 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 V6 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, IEEE 802.11s, OLSR) and watch their ideas compete. If you have implemented an interesting mesh protocol capable of running on OpenWrt Backfire you can take part in the tournament too.

You are not required to book the hotel with us to participate in the event. In case you wish to find your own hotel feel free to do so.

Account details

TODO: account, credit card, etc?

TODO: if we can use other payment options like credit cards, we don't need that note Note: Your bank will charge you when wiring money to a foreign country. To get the cost down you can bundle your transfer with other people. Please contact us if you do, so that we know who is part of your group. Also add 3 EUR to whatever sum you are transferring. The account holder in Greece will be charged that amount by his bank for every transaction he receives. If you bundle your transfers you only need to add the 3 EUR once.

Confirmation

TODO: do we need it (maybe not if we use credit cards)
