| '''The Wireless Battle Mesh v12 Building community networks for fun and non-profit 8th - 14th of July 2019, Paris, France''' The upcoming 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' event will take place '''from Mon 8th - Sun 14th of July''' in '''"Le 6B" in Saint-Denis, near Paris'''. The event aims to bring together people from across the globe who are interested in community networks, including wireless mesh network technologies, fiber infrastructure, Do-It-Yourself Internet Access Providers, and more generally how to create and maintain a thriving community of people involved in building their own networks. This year, we would like to expand the topics beyond wireless, with a dual focus on fiber and community. We envision 7 days full of expert presentations, practical workshops, late-night hacking sessions, and fruitful discussions: whether you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, protocol developer, or have an interest in networking in general, come and join us! Continuously updated information about the event: https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV12 ==Location== Our location for the main event is "Le 6B", 6-10 quai de Seine, 93200 Saint-Denis, France.

What are the applications? *Local Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) as a common infrastructure *DNS as a common infrastructure? Deadline for submitting a proposal: 10th June (we are ~4 months ahead of the event. I'd set the deadline like 2 months prior to the event, and then postpone the date to a date closer to the event. This would push people to sign up earlier which helps bringing more people if the talks are interesting. We will also organize lightning talks (5 to 15 minutes) which will be opened to registration during the event itself. To submit a proposal, send us an email (v12 at battlemesh.org) with the template below. All information you give us will be made publicly available in the schedule, unless explicitely specified otherwise. ######## Subject: Event proposal [e.g. conference, workshop, panel discusssion, ...] Name and/or nick Optional affiliation: community, country, employer...
