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.
If you wonder about that dates, Monday, June 9th, is Pentecost - a public holiday in Germany and village fair in Sundhausen. That's why we start on Tuesday.

Participation
In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks. There will also be more informal activities: cooperative hacking, self-organized projects, and (we hope) delightful conversations!
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.
