BattleMeshV8

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 V7 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 Attitude Adjustment you can take part in the tournament too.

Where

The BattleMeshV8 will be held at Maribor, Slovenia. The testing / hacking / talks will take place in Dom Obrambe Pekre It features one large room with a separate stage corner for talks as well as a smaller room for discussions, a smoking room and several other smaller rooms. Expect to find nice WiFi internet connection (Freifunk and Sublab Wifi), hacking gear, video projector, a beer garden outside, and some curious hackers.

Dom Obrambe Pekre consists of two larger halls, several classrooms and offices. It is an ex-military school now ran by the Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief and used as a Civil protection base, firefighter education base and is the headquarters of Slovenian Ham-Radio Association. Placed on the outskirts of town Maribor under the Pohorje mountain it is surrounded by a large open area and vineyards, offering a very nice environment for setting-up indoor and outdoor WiFi test setups. During the summer time the outdoor auditorium is a very nice setting for some hacking int he sun, a football match in the afternoon and a barbeque in the evening. The location has a nearby city bus stop in about 15 min walk away from the ski-resort with plenty accommodation options.
