BattleMeshV6 Announcement

==========================================================
      Announcing the Wireless Battle Mesh v6
   (15th of April - 21st of April 2013, Aalborg, Denmark)
==========================================================

The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from
Mon 15th till Sun 21st of April at the University of Aalborg,
Denmark. The event aims to bring together people from across
the globe to test the performance of different routing
protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX,
OLSR, and 802.11s. Of course, new protocols (working on
OpenWRT) are always welcome!

It is not required to be active within the mentioned
protocols, so if you are a mesh networking enthusiast,
community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh
networks in general, you have to check this out!

If you wish low cost cost accomodation and low cost food supply,
several special group bookings have been arranged. Payment
in advance is required to get the full benefit of the
discount. Therefore, this year's edition features an "early

entire week are available for 1500 DKK (~201€) if the
payment is made before February 15th, 2013. The price goes
up to 1900 DKK (~255€) for all payments made after February

Of course, this package is not compulsory. You can also

Warm Up

As with Wireless BattleMesh V5 in Athens, we would like to
arrange a warm up event in the preceeding weekend. So far, we
have explored options like Djurslands Net and Net4Samsø, but
nothing is final yet. Suggestions and ideas for this is more
than welcome!
