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. 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! This year, we would like to expand the topics beyond wireless, with a dual focus on '''fiber''' and '''community'''. But you will probably also meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations: [[http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/babel/|Babel]], [[http://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]] L3 and L2, [[http://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[http://open80211s.org/|IEEE 802.11s]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]]. <<TableOfContents>> == Important dates == The event takes place from '''2019-07-08''' to '''2019-07-14'''. Deadline for [[#accommodation|accommodation packages]]: '''first-come first-serve''' Deadline for [[#CFP|event proposal]]: --(May 10th)-- '''Extended to June 7th''' == Where == '''Le 6B''', 6-10 quai de Seine, 93200 Saint-Denis, France (very close to Paris). [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.93835&mlon=2.34259#map=18/48.93835/2.34259|OpenstreetMap]] [[https://www.le6b.fr/|Website]] The location is at a 5-10 minutes walk from the '''Saint-Denis''' railway station on the '''Train H''' (faster) or '''RER D''', both easily accessible from the center of Paris. Make sure to buy a ticket for '''zone 3'''. The closest airports are [[https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/passengers/access/paris-charles-de-gaulle|Paris Charles de Gaulle]] and [[https://www.parisaeroport.fr/en/passengers/access/paris-orly|Paris Orly]], both 45 minutes away by public transportation. Another option is the Paris Beauvais airport, located 2h15 away from the event by public transportation. == What == In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks (see [[#CFP|Call for Participation]]). There will also be more informal activities: cooperative hacking, self-organized projects, and (we hope) delightful conversations! Tentative talk schedule: [[#Talk_Schedule_and_Workshops]] In addition, there may be a self-organized wireless mesh network, running different routing protocols to compare them. Please coordinate directly on the battlemesh mailing list to make that happen. == How to register == The event itself is '''free of charge''' and open for all! However, it makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you plan to come. To register, please send an email to v12 at battlemesh.org with the following content: {{{ Subject: Registration Name and/or Nick Date of arrival / departure Accommodation package: [Yes/No; package 1 or 2; room preference (mixed, non-mixed, specific person)] T-Shirt Size: [S/M/L/none, man/woman/unisex] Other details you want to share: (e.g. community, country, URLs, twitter/mastodon handle, dietary restrictions, ...) Do you agree to appear on the public list of participants? [Yes/No] Are you applying for a travel scholarship? [Yes/No; city; estimated price] }}} We will then put your name on the public list of participants: https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV12/Participants If you apply for an accommodation package or travel scolarship, we will reply to you shortly with more information. <<Anchor(accommodation)>> == Accommodation package == For those of you who are looking for a convenient and low cost accommodation option: we negotiated a special group reservation for 24 people. The Hostel is called "Beautiful Belleville" and is located 30 minutes away from the event venue by train. The address is 12 rue de l’atlas 75019 PARIS. [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.87514&mlon=2.37644#map=18/48.87514/2.37644|Click here to see the hostel on a map]] Two types of all-in accommodation packages are available. They both include 6 nights (from the 8th to the 14th of July), breakfast, bedsheets and towels. Do note that the night from 7th July to 8th July is '''not included'''! Please plan your travel accordingly. Package 1 in 4-beds rooms: 201 euros Package 2 in 2-beds rooms: 213 euros The packages are attributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so register as soon as possible! '''How to register for accommodation''': contact us by email (v12 at battlemesh dot org) with the package you want, and preference (mixed / non-mixed / same room as another person). We will confirm to you whether there are rooms left, and then send you an invoice with payment instructions. <<Anchor(travelgrants)>> == Travel Scholarships == Thanks to our sponsors, we have the opportunity to provide some Travel Scholarships to cover the costs of a long distance flight to Paris and back. If you want to apply, please explicitly tell us so in the registration email. Please also provide the location from which you will be coming from, an estimation of the travel costs (flight to Paris and back), and whether you absolutely need us to cover the full amount of your ticket to be able to participate. You need to prepare a short video (2 to 5 minutes) in which you briefly present yourself, your community and your interests, especially related to the Battlemesh event. It should be in either English or French, but if you are not fluent enough you can speak in your native language and add English subtitles. If you have no easy mean to share large files, tell us in your email and we will provide a link to upload your video. '''Deadline was May 10th''' <<Anchor(CFP)>> == Call for participation == We invite participants to propose workshops, talks or panel discussions relating to '''network infrastructure''' in general, how it can be built and operated '''as a common''', and how to sustain a '''community''' around networking. We welcome contributions that broadly address these questions from any of several perspectives: technical, organisational, economical, regulatory, juridical, political. Example topics: * Wireless Community Networks * Community Networks that deploy Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks * TV white space as a precious network resource (radio spectrum) * Free hardware and free software for Community Networks * How to organize a durable community structure? * How to involve non-technical people? To "digital stewardship" and beyond? * How to disseminate the spirit of community networks, knowledge etc? * Connecting rural areas: challenges and solutions * Public fiber networks: architecture, funding, private actors involved, oversight * Internet of Things (IoT) networks and their impact on society * How to take advantage of a community network in ways otherwise not possible? What are the applications? * Local Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) as a common infrastructure * DNS as a common infrastructure? '''Deadline:''' --(10 May 2019)-- Extended to June 7th 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 Name and/or nick Optional affiliation: community, country, employer...

The event aims to bring together all people from across the globe that are interested in wireless mesh network technologies and community networks in general. 6 days full of expert presentations, late night hacking sessions, measurement campaigns, protocol discussions, and a whole lotta other meshy things. We will have fun, that's for sure. Meet the developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations ([[http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/babel/|Babel]], [[http://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]] L3 and L2, [[http://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[http://open80211s.org/|IEEE 802.11s]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]] , etc.) and watch their ideas compete. <<TableOfContents>> == When == The event takes place between '''TODO''', 2019. == Where == Paris, France. '''The Recon Mission (consisting of Paul and Filipe) is on location between 2018-12-06 and 2018-12-09.''' ==== Some First Impressions ==== TODO == Participants == The event itself is free of charge and open for all! If you intend to come, please add yourself to the participants list: http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV12/Participants == What == In brief: We will deploy a wireless mesh network all over the place, run different routing protocols on top of it, perform some tests and see which routing protocol behaves better. Besides, there is plenty of space and time and people for talks/presentations, cooperative hacking, and delightful conversations. == Call for participation == '''This is a work-in-progress call for participation''' === Introducing Battlemesh 2019 "Network Infrastructure as a Common" === This year's Battlemesh will be held in Paris. Besides the traditional "battle of the mesh" testbed, we invite participants to submit talks and workshops relating to '''network infrastructure''' in general, how it can be built and operated '''as a common''', and how to sustain a '''community''' around networking. Community networks around the world are transitioning towards fiber-based networks, either to directly connect end-users through Fiber-to-the-Home networks, or as a backbone for large wireless networks. Given the large investment cost and high longevity of fiber networks, several fundamental questions arise: who pays for the physical infrastructure? Who owns the network? What are the conditions for accessing it? How can we make sure that the network serves the common interest, by remaining accessible and affordable, ensuring no mass surveillance is possible, and providing universal coverage? These questions can also apply, to some degree, to wireless networks. We welcome contributions that broadly address these questions from any of several perspectives: technical, organisational, economical, regulatory, juridical. More precisely, this Call for Participation encompasses the following topics: * Wireless Community Networks * Community Networks that deploy Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks * TV white space as a precious network resource (radio spectrum) * Free hardware and free software for Community Networks * How to organize a durable community structure? * How to involve non-technical people? To "digital stewardship" and beyond? * How to disseminate the spirit of community networks, knowledge etc? * Connecting rural areas: challenges and solutions * Public fiber networks: architecture, funding, private actors involved, oversight * Internet of Things (IoT) networks and their impact on society * Local Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) as a way to relocalize interconnections * How to take advantage of this common infrastructure in ways otherwise not possible? What are the applications? * DNS as a common infrastructure? == Talk Schedule and Workshops == The schedule is being worked on here: TODO A call for ad-hoc workshops can be found here: TODO Final conference schedule will be made available here: TODO == Git Repository == See Github: https://github.com/battlemesh == Accepted Talks == TODO === Workshops === TODO === Technical Talks === TODO === Short Technical Talks === TODO ---- |

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.
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!
This year, we would like to expand the topics beyond wireless, with a dual focus on fiber and community. But you will probably also meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations: Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX6, IEEE 802.11s, OLSR.

Important dates
The event takes place from 2019-07-08 to 2019-07-14.
Deadline for accommodation packages: first-come first-serve
Deadline for event proposal: May 10th Extended to June 7th
Where
Le 6B, 6-10 quai de Seine, 93200 Saint-Denis, France (very close to Paris).
The location is at a 5-10 minutes walk from the Saint-Denis railway station on the Train H (faster) or RER D, both easily accessible from the center of Paris. Make sure to buy a ticket for zone 3.
The closest airports are Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly, both 45 minutes away by public transportation. Another option is the Paris Beauvais airport, located 2h15 away from the event by public transportation.
What
In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks (see Call for Participation). There will also be more informal activities: cooperative hacking, self-organized projects, and (we hope) delightful conversations!
Tentative talk schedule: #Talk_Schedule_and_Workshops
In addition, there may be a self-organized wireless mesh network, running different routing protocols to compare them. Please coordinate directly on the battlemesh mailing list to make that happen.
How to register
The event itself is free of charge and open for all! However, it makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you plan to come.

The packages are attributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so register as soon as possible!
How to register for accommodation: contact us by email (v12 at battlemesh dot org) with the package you want, and preference (mixed / non-mixed / same room as another person). We will confirm to you whether there are rooms left, and then send you an invoice with payment instructions.
Travel Scholarships
Thanks to our sponsors, we have the opportunity to provide some Travel Scholarships to cover the costs of a long distance flight to Paris and back. If you want to apply, please explicitly tell us so in the registration email. Please also provide the location from which you will be coming from, an estimation of the travel costs (flight to Paris and back), and whether you absolutely need us to cover the full amount of your ticket to be able to participate.
You need to prepare a short video (2 to 5 minutes) in which you briefly present yourself, your community and your interests, especially related to the Battlemesh event. It should be in either English or French, but if you are not fluent enough you can speak in your native language and add English subtitles. If you have no easy mean to share large files, tell us in your email and we will provide a link to upload your video.
Deadline was May 10th
