Community Networks enthusiasts. Obviously proposals related to routing
protocols have higher priority in case of an excess of proposals.

About the Wireless Battle Mesh<<BR>>
==============================

The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing
together people from across Europe to test the performance of
different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel,
B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX6, OLSR, 802.11s and Static Routing.

It is 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 want to check this out !

The goal of the Wireless Battle Mesh events is to set-up hands-on
testbed for each available mesh routing protocol with a standard test
procedure for the different mesh networks. During the different WBM
events, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based
on the OpenWRT BoardSupportPackage and packages for each protocol
implementation. The WBM events are also a great opportunity to develop
testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY
analyzers) .
