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.

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:

Accommodation package
Information about the Accommodation package can be found on this page.

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

About the Battlemesh V15 logo
This year's logo shows a traditional Catalonian "human tower" or Castell. The enxaneta (person on top) carries on their shoulders a large microwave dish which you have seen in previous Battlemesh logos.
What do castells mean *nowadays* in popular culture?
Men-only castells were a declining tradition only a few decades ago. As soon as inclusive colles castelleres (i.e., teams of castellers) appeared in the late 1980s, the castells tradition flourished again and became an open, welcoming, family-friendly, intergenerational activity.
This meant not only more fun, but also better castells. I think Catalan society learnt a valuable lesson from that.
As you may imagine, the higher the castell goes, the bigger and sounder the base (i.e., the pinya) needs to be. This requires lots of people supporting the tower from the bottom. Even in the most signified castells competitions, which occur regularly, it is *common practice* that members from one colla castellera (and also friends, family, supporters, etc.) help a competing colla castellera to fer pinya [1], so that all the castells that are build during the event become more solid and robust.
Isn't it the whole purpose of putting the protocols at test during the Battlemesh, to make them more solid and robust through collaboration of all participants?
