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 (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX6, IEEE 802.11s, OLSR , etc.) and watch their ideas compete.

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.

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?
