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: [[https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/babel/|Babel]], [[https://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]] L3 and L2, [[https://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[https://open80211s.org/|IEEE 802.11s]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]]. |
The Wireless Battle Mesh is a non-commercial, volunteer-organized annual convention. The convention features a variety of talks and workshops on technical and political issues related to mesh networking, wireless community networks and Openwrt firmware development. The purpose of the event is to further topics such as right to connectivity, community-owned infrastructure and related free open source projects. |

<<Anchor(catering)>> == Catering package == Catering is provided by the Kitchen Crew at Calafou for the full day including breakfast, lunch & dinner. Vegan, vegetarian and carnivore options available. This catering option is optional but recommended. Calafou is located outside major urban areas which means restaurants / bars are limited. === Catering package price === Catering cost is 18 EUR per day and there is a 6 day pack discount which reduces the cost to 15 EUR per day (total: 90 EUR). Paying for the food is only possible in cash and during the event === Catering package service introduction === The calafou collective kitchen service is a catering project for calafou events that aims to generate networking and dynamism for the community while providing a source of income and sustainable working conditions for the people who work there. We want to offer and facilitate the cooking service for the participants with a political objective of promoting food sovereignty in the territory, with local suppliers and related alternative projects, while offering healthy meals at affordable prices. Where possible, we incorporate fair trade, km0, organic and seasonal products. We want to introduce the vegetarian and vegan diet in greater proportion to choose more ethical and responsible interspecies options. We are starting the project and we are excited to offer Battlemesh a kitchen suitable to the demands and possibilities. For this reason, we have a proposal with seasonal products from the local organic garden, vegetables, and recycled organic natursoy products, among others. One of the daily meals will be exclusively vegan and the rest will be vegetarian based with omnivorous options. We guarantee the vegan diet, gluten-free and other possible allergies to people who require it. Along these lines, we also want to offer options for refreshments and drinks during the event in the same political line, with beers from the Calafou cooperative Subversiva coop, as well as from other alternative producers such as altercola. We hope you enjoy the experience! === Catering package timetable === From Monday to Saturday: * lunch time: 14:00 - 15:00 * dinner time: 20:00 - 21:00 === Catering package menu === Catering might change on: * lunch-dinner of monday, because we would try a different format, but if we fail, this would be the fallback option * At Thurday, the dinner woold be in a restaurant (outside of calafou) || Type || Monday || Tuesday || Wednesday || Thursday || Friday || Saturday || || Lunch || Goat cheese salad<<BR>>Lentils with rice || Pasta with sauce<<BR>>Cheese and annuis<<BR>>Fresh salad sprouts || Seitan stew with potatoes / beef<<BR>>Coleslaw salad || Macaroni bolognese<<BR>>Fresh salad of sprouts<<BR>>Sliced cerdanya, scrambled eggs, vegetables and mushrooms || Fruit salads dry<<BR>>Mixed (paella) || Lebanese tabbouleh<<BR>>Beans with vegetables || || Dinner || Cream of vegetables<<BR>>Veggie burgers with baked potatoes || Chickpeas with mushrooms<<BR>>Spinach lasagna || Vicyssoise<<BR>>Burritos with beans and vegetables || Vegetable soup<<BR>>Seitan fillets with pumpkin || Risotto<<BR>>Broccoli in tahini<<BR>>Pumpkin cream<<BR>>Pizza || Vegetables with vegan béchamel<<BR>>Falafels || |

Extra note: regretably public swimming pool opens in June, so we would not be able to swim. And remember that the river is polluted
Weather
The forecasted maximum and minimum temperatures for that week are max 27 °C and min 10 °C. So, during the night, it can get quite chilly.
Also, the weather forecast gives a non-negligible probability that it will rain. The ground between buildings in Calafou is, in some parts, unpaved, choose your shoes accordingly
What we do
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!
Full 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.

Accommodation package
Information about the Accommodation package can be found on this page: https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV15/AccomodationPackage
The packages are attributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so register as soon as possible!
Catering package
Catering is provided by the Kitchen Crew at Calafou for the full day including breakfast, lunch & dinner. Vegan, vegetarian and carnivore options available.
This catering option is optional but recommended. Calafou is located outside major urban areas which means restaurants / bars are limited.
Catering package price
Catering cost is 18 EUR per day and there is a 6 day pack discount which reduces the cost to 15 EUR per day (total: 90 EUR).
Paying for the food is only possible in cash and during the event
Catering package service introduction
The calafou collective kitchen service is a catering project for calafou events that aims to generate networking and dynamism for the community while providing a source of income and sustainable working conditions for the people who work there. We want to offer and facilitate the cooking service for the participants with a political objective of promoting food sovereignty in the territory, with local suppliers and related alternative projects, while offering healthy meals at affordable prices. Where possible, we incorporate fair trade, km0, organic and seasonal products. We want to introduce the vegetarian and vegan diet in greater proportion to choose more ethical and responsible interspecies options.
We are starting the project and we are excited to offer Battlemesh a kitchen suitable to the demands and possibilities. For this reason, we have a proposal with seasonal products from the local organic garden, vegetables, and recycled organic natursoy products, among others. One of the daily meals will be exclusively vegan and the rest will be vegetarian based with omnivorous options. We guarantee the vegan diet, gluten-free and other possible allergies to people who require it. Along these lines, we also want to offer options for refreshments and drinks during the event in the same political line, with beers from the Calafou cooperative Subversiva coop, as well as from other alternative producers such as altercola. We hope you enjoy the experience!
