BattleMeshV5 Warmup
When the news about the BattleMeshV5 spread in Greece many wireless Greek communities inside and outside of Athens felt excited by the idea of having that many wireless enthusiasts in the country. They felt the participants also should have the possibility of visiting at least one of the many installed wireless mesh network found in the rural areas of Greece. Therefore, the idea of a BattleMeshV5 warmup in form of a guided tour through Sarantaporo was devised (managed and organized by the Sarantaporo wireless community).

Why warming up at Sarantaporo ?
Getting ready for the real “Battle” is more than obligatory! And which better terrain for preparation other than Sarantaporo village, with currently 9 wifi mesh networks in the area! Playing with over than 80 routers and interfering with lots of end users, while having fun, experiencing traditional food and enjoying country life in a beautiful landscape opposite of the ancient Greek gods mountain Olympus, is the perfect combination for keeping “fit” for the main event in Athens. Get the energy and the right mood to give and get the best of you after such a warm-up!
What may happen there
No one may say for sure, however there is the potentiality for:
- Small workshop presenting the implementation of the local mesh networks from Sarantaporo.gr technical team, questions about further development and optimization, suggestions from the experts, feedback from local users experience and experts communicating mesh and open source basic technology evolution and their benefits in any possible way.
- Open space activities during the day, in case of nice weather: visiting village sights, walking on mountain routes, BBQs, greek-way coffee relaxation.
- Dinner at local tavernas in the evening and party at local cafes and bars till late at night.
- Extra special events organized by the local cultural communities.

About Sarantaporo.gr Core Team
We are a group of people hailing from Sarantaporo, who live in different cities, countries and continents, sharing a common love for our village. The need to communicate with each other, to be aware of the local news, to be creative and active, prompted us to create Sarantaporo.gr website.
The next step in our trip was to implement and operate free wifi open-mesh networks in Sarantaporo and other 14 neighboring villages, while planning to further optimize them, extend and enrich them with online services (eg VoIP, Weather Station, Online streaming services etc). Suggestions and help from the WBM community on these ambitions are more than welcome.
