BattleMeshV4
We would like to give to the 'Battle of the Mesh' 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 V4 very interesting. This event is also an opportunity to meet developers from the most popular open source mesh protocol implementations (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N. L3 and L2, BMX, OLSR) 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.

Where
The BattleMeshV4 will be held at Sant Bartomeu del Grau (SBG for short), near Barcelona, Catalunia, Spain.
The event takes place here: http://www.canroca.cat/. We have booked the whole resort, so feel free to bring your family.
How to get there
- you can fly either to Barcelona or to Girona. Both of them are the same distance to Sant bartomeu del Grau and both have public transport to Vic (the closest town to Sant Bartomeu where you can get by public transport).
from Girona aiport to Vic: there are a couple of buses every day. Timetables: http://www.barcelona-girona-airport.com/from-Girona-Airport-to-Vic
- from Barcelona aiport
- Terminal 1 (main terminal, the new one):you can either get the shuttle to Terminal 2 and follow its instructions (the cheapest option) or go to Plaça Catalunya (Barcelona's main square -there are many ways to get there) and take the train line C3 towards Vic/Puigcerdà (the train station is underground).
Terminal 2 (Easyjet's terminal, the old one): buy a zone 6 tiket and take the train (there is single line) and get off at Estació de Sants (Sants Station) and change to line C3 towards Vic/Puigvcerdà. Timetables: http://www.renfe.com/CA/viajeros/cercanias/barcelona/index.html
- From Roma there's a ferry to Barcelona, which is easy if you want to carry a lot of stuff.
More details will come up here.
When
16-20th of March 2011
The space is reserved for the whole week (14-20th) so people will start gathering during the previous weekend. So if time is not a problem, we recommend you to travel some days ahead.
What
In brief: we will deploy a wireless mesh network over the neighbourhood, run different routing protocols on top of it, perform some tests and see which routing protocol behaves better.
Side activities will be organized. Workshops and talks on wireless topics are on the time table (see below on this page)
Fee
A donation of 50 EUR (which will cover costs for the whole period for the accomodation + internet connectivity) is required for the whole event (5 days, 4 nights). Of course feel free to donate more if you want 
Please pay in advance and NOT directly at the event. This will help a lot to organize everything.
Payment deadline: It would be nice to pay before March the 10th
