= Wireless Battle Mesh = The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing together people from across the world to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like [[https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/babel/|Babel]], [[https://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]], [[https://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]], [[https://open80211s.org/|802.11s]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_routing|Static Routing]]. It is 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 want to check this out! The goal of the !WirelessBattleMesh events is to set-up hands-on testbed for each available mesh routing protocol with a standard test procedure for the different mesh networks. During the different WBM events, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based on the OpenWRT !BoardSupportPackage and packages for each protocol implementation. The WBM events are also a great opportunity to develop testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY analyzers).

After some months of reconsideration, we have concluded that it would be kinda difficult to do the WBMv13 in person this year :..( But our mission can't be shutdown by mere 7.5 kilobytes of RNA - there will be a dedicated mesh developer/community event in 2020! The idea is to put together a schedule of around 10 interesting presentations, via BigBlueButton (streamcopied to Peertube/YouTube) and a set of topic-based rooms on a voice chat server (mumble). We could also use this event to try running distributed experiments. For now things are stil flexible - we can change this model according to the expected number of participants. See you at WBMv13 in 2020! --(WBM is [[CallForLocations|calling for WBMv13 locations]]! WBMv13 location will be announced soon!)-- == Past Events == * '''08-14 July 2019:''' [[BattleMeshV12|BattleMesh v12]] near Paris (FR) * '''07-13 May 2018:''' [[BattleMeshV11|BattleMesh v11]] co-located with the [[https://wiki.freifunk.net/Wireless_Community_Weekend_2018|Wireless Community Weekend]] in the [[https://www.wireless-meshup.org/ |Wireless-Meshup]] event in Berlin (DE) * '''05-11 Jun 2017:''' [[BattleMeshV10|BattleMesh v10]] in Vienna (AT) * '''01-07 May 2016:''' [[BattleMeshV9|BattleMesh v9]] in Porto (PT) * '''03-09 Aug 2015:''' [[BattleMeshV8|BattleMesh v8]] in Maribor (SI) * '''12-18 May 2014:''' [[BattleMeshV7|BattleMesh v7]] in Leipzig (DE) * '''19-21 Jul 2013:''' [[https://ml.ninux.org/pipermail/battlemesh/2013-July/002473.html|Babel Wireless Mesh hackathon]] in Paris (FR) * '''15-21 Apr 2013:''' [[BattleMeshV6|BattleMesh v6]] in Aalborg (DK) * '''26-01 Apr 2012:''' [[BattleMeshV5|BattleMesh v5]] in Athens (GR) * '''23-25 Mar 2012:''' [[BattleMeshV5_Warmup|BattleMesh v5 Warmup]] in Sarantaporo (GR) * '''07-09 Okt 2011:''' [[https://wiki.hsbxl.be/Babel_Wireless_Routing_Protocol_Workshop|Babel workshop]] in Brussels (BE) * '''10-14 Aug 2011:''' [[BattleMeshV4.01|BattleMesh v4.01]] in Finowfurt - CCC camp (DE) * '''16-20 Mar 2011:''' [[BattleMeshV4|BattleMesh v4]] in Sant Bartomeu del Grau (CAT) * '''11-14 Nov 2010:''' [[BattleMeshV3.3|BattleMesh v3.3]] in Godarville (BE) * '''03-05 Sep 2010:''' [[BattleMeshV3.1416|BattleMesh v3.1416]] in Ghent (BE) * '''02-06 Jun 2010:''' [[BattleMeshV3|BattleMesh v3]] in Bracciano (IT) * '''26-28 Feb 2010:''' [[https://wiki.hsbxl.be/Wireless_Battle_Mesh_v_2.7182|BattleMesh v2.7]] in Brussels and Hasselt (BE) * '''17-18 Oct 2009:''' [[https://wiki.hsbxl.be/Wireless_Battle_Mesh_v2|BattleMesh v2]] in Brussels (BE) * '''11-12 Apr 2009:''' [[https://www.tmplab.org/2009/02/16/first-tmplab-wireless-battle-mesh-april-11-12th-2009-tmplab/|BattleMesh v1]] in Paris (FR) == Battlemesh Seeking for Endorsements! == Read the page [[EndorsementStrategy|Endorsement Strategy]] to learn why endorsing the event is a good thing. == What's hot? == * [[https://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh|Mailing List]] * [[https://webchat.freenode.net?channels=battlemesh&uio=d4|IRC Chat]] (irc.freenode.net #battlemesh) == Downloads == * [[https://download.battlemesh.org/|Official BattleMesh download server with pictures/videos/etc from past events]]
