= Agenda = The deadline for talks proposals has now passed, but lightening talks (7 mins + 3 mins questions) may still be submitted. The agenda will be posted here very soon! == Proposed events == === Talks === ||'''Time''' ||'''Title''' ||'''Abstract''' ||'''Type''' ||'''Speaker''' ||''' Slides & Documentation''' || ||One hour ||'''Troubleshooting MTU problems on IPv4 and IPv6 networks''' ||Ninux Roma is a Native IPv6 network with legacy support to IPv4.<
>Usually we expect 1500 bytes of MTU and a boring NOC life. Unfortunately life is different. All kind of tunneling (VLAN, GRE, TINC, MPLS) are deployed on the Internet, eating bytes out of the MTU. Some mesh routing protocols use tunneling techniques themself. IPv4 packet fragmentation introduces bad performances but a working IPv4 end to end connectivity even if some link have a smaller MTU than needed.<
>In the IPv6 Internet a MTU problem can blackhole your traffic. In this talk we will see some well known tools (ping6, radvd), and we will understand how to use them to check the end to end MTU. ||Talk ||Saverio Proto ||Projector required || ||One hour ||'''Dynamic Frequency Selection in 5 GHz mesh networks''' ||The 5 GHz band is an interesting alternative to the crowded 2.4 GHz ISM band to set up mesh networks. However, DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) support is required in many countries to avoid disturbing primary users (e.g. military or weather radar systems), and DFS support was not available in open source drivers until last year.<
><
>In this talk I'll present what DFS is and how it can be handled, summarise the current status in open source drivers and userspace tools, and discuss limitations and requirements to get it running in mesh networks. ||Talk ||Simon Wunderlich ||Projector required || ||45 min ||'''Hunting a digital fox at 5GHz''' ||5GHz networks are generally deployed to cover larger distances and thus cover a wide area. Even a single or a few “evil” Wi-Fi transmitters may significantly degrade the performance of other devices and hinder a portion of the free spectrum useless.<
>The talk is based on real events and will teach you the basic approach to analysing the spectrum at a given location and choosing a frequency, pinpointing the source of a wireless node performing a De-Auth attach on your node or generally spamming the spectrum, likely as a result of an infection with malicious code. ||Talk ||Musti ||Projector required || ||45 mins ||'''WiBed, a testbed platform for WiFi experiments''' ||Wibed is a platform for facilitating the quick and cost-efficient acquisition, deployment, and manage-ment of testbeds based on commodity IEEE802.11 routers and enabling experimentation with wireless technology including the modification of low-level system components such as physical and link layer mechanisms, and network and transport layer protocols. ||Talk ||Pau ||Projector required || ||One hour ||'''Network Coding for Mesh Networks''' ||The talk is a follow up on Martin Hundeboll's talk at BattleMeshv6 about the potential of network coding in meshed networks. Based on some examples the importance of protocol design for network coding is highlightes. Furthermore the basics of network coding are repeated in a nutshell to give the audience the basic understanding. ||Talk ||Frank Fitzek || || ||One hour ||'''Nodeshot / CitySDK''' ||A talk about the new version of [[https://github.com/ninuxorg/nodeshot|nodeshot]] and the work that has been done on the CitySDK project regarding common APIs, smart participation / active citizenship. ||Talk ||Federico (ninux.org) || || ||One hour ||'''Netengine''' ||Netengine is a new project started at the end of 2013. It is an abstraction layer to extract information from network devices.<
>This talk will cover the basic concepts and explain the work being done on it plus the work the GSOC student will have accomplished before the event. ||Talk ||Federico (ninux.org) || || ||One hour ||'''Are Wireless Community Networks really decentralized networks?''' ||The topology of three networks (Ninux, FF-Graz, and FF-Wien) have been analysed to try to understand:<
> * Are they really decentralized topologies?<
> * Are they robust to failures/attacks/interception?<
> * For those that use OLSR, why don't use MPRs? ||Talk ||Leonardo Maccari (researcher at the university of Trento, part of the Ninux network). ||[[attachment:leonardo_wireless_decentralized.pdf]] Here is the original paper on this, limited to Ninux, presented it at CNBUB last year and at the Ninux-day in Rome. There is now much more data and some deeper analysis. Projector required || ||One hour ||'''The Freifunk API''' ||The Freifunk API is an approach of decentralized information gathering inspired by spaceapi.net. We'll introduce the API, show recent developments and give an outlook on future features ||Talk ||Monic & Andi (Saturday or Sunday only) ||Projector required || ||One hour ||'''B.A.T.M.A.N. V: what's coming next''' ||A metric tailored around packet loss is not the best choice when it comes to determining the optimal path through the network. This talk presents the approach taken by batman's next generation routing protocol (B.A.T.M.A.N. V) covering a range of topics from multi-interface routing to bandwidth based routing decisions.||Talk ||Marek Lindner and Antonio Quartulli ||Projector required || ||45 min ||'''[[http://cjdns.info|Cjdns]] & [[https://projectmeshnet.org/|Project Meshnet]]''' ||Cjdns implements an encrypted IPv6 network using public key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing This provides near zero-configuration networking without many of the security and robustness issues that regular IPv4 and IPv6 networks have.||Talk ||Lars ||Projector required || ||45 min ||'''Trusted multi-topology routing with Bmx6''' ||Challenges, idea, and implementation of a receiver-driven approach for supporting securely-entrusted multi-topology routing for truly open and decentralized mesh network. First measurements quanifying cpu/memory/traffic overhead indicate the feasibility for supporting hundreds of nodes with (typical openWrt) embedded devices which shall be compared with further experiments during the event... ||Talk ||Axel ||Projector required || ||45 min ||'''Open Building Interconnection Reference Model''' ||No abstract provided ||Talk ||Peter Kußmann ||Proposed date May 17th, paper presented in German. Will check with him for language (Elektra) Projector required || ||30 mins||'''Retroshare - Secure decentralized communication for everyone'''||The talk will cover the Retroshare project and introduce a Google Summer of Code projects, a social network plugin for retroshare||Talk||Tillmann Gansky||Projector required|| === Meetings === ||Time''' ''' ||Title''' ''' ||Abstract''' ''' ||Type''' ''' ||Speaker''' ''' ||Slides & Documentation''' ''' || ||2 Hours ||'''DIY ISP Meeting''' ||Meeting of diy-isp from all over the world.<

The coin reward is not based on the block finding but in the contribution and participation of the community individuals.<
>There is nothing to present because there is nothing yet implemented. However it might be an interesting topic to discuss about to see what the community network members around the world think. ||panel discussion ||Pau ||Projector required || ||One hour ||'''CONFINE project meeting''' ||The CONFINE EU project aims at building research testbeds in community networks.
