| 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. |

Where
Location of the main event
The Battlemesh v15 will be hosted by the fabulous Calafou / colonia ecoindustrial postcapitalista members in Barcelona, Europe
The community vote selected timeframe is Monday 2023-05-08 to Sunday 2023-05-14.
The Calafou compound is very spacious and offers plenty of room for hacking, workshops, socializing, building test beds and more!
Workshop areas:

How to travel from BCO to Calafou
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!
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.
To register, please send an email to v15 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]

The packages are attributed on a first-come first-serve basis, so register as soon as possible!
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 Barcelona 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: TBA
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
