= BattleMeshV3 = We would like to give to the Battle of the Mesh V3 the flavour of a tournament with a social character. If you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh networks you might find this bunch of crazy folks gathering for the Wireless Battle of the Mesh V3 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations (Babel, Batman, Olsr.org) and watch their ideas compete. If you have implemented an interesting mesh protocol capable of running on OpenWrt Kamikaze you can take part to the tournament. <> == RESULTS == The results and the material produced at the event is available online with rsync protocol here (warning ~4GB): rsync://zumbi.netgroup.uniroma2.it/wbmv3 If you are interested just in the results download just this folder: rsync://zumbi.netgroup.uniroma2.it/wbmv3/results == Where == The BattleMeshV3 will be held at [[http://www.porticciolo.it|Camping Porticciolo]] in Bracciano (Rome) Italy. === How to get there === * '''From the airport of Ciampino''': * take a shuttle bus to the ''Termini'' station, then take the ''metro A'' to the ''Valle Aurelia'' station.
