| The agenda will be set after the workshop submission deadline, 1st of May. We will try to keep a maximum of 4 hours of talks per day, including breaks. == Proposed events == === Talks === ||'''Time''' ||'''Title''' ||'''Abstract''' ||'''Type''' ||'''Speaker''' ||''' Slides & Documentation''' || ||One hour ||'''Troubleshooting MTU problems on IPv4 and IPv6 networks''' ||Ninux Roma is a Native IPv6 network with legacy support to IPv4.<<BR>>Usually we expect 1500 bytes of MTU and a boring NOC life. Unfortunately life is different. All kind of tunneling (VLAN, GRE, TINC, MPLS) are deployed on the Internet, eating bytes out of the MTU. Some mesh routing protocols use tunneling techniques themself. IPv4 packet fragmentation introduces bad performances but a working IPv4 end to end connectivity even if some link have a smaller MTU than needed.<<BR>>In the IPv6 Internet a MTU problem can blackhole your traffic.

Rugged Battery Pack |
Rugged Battery Pack is designed to be used with Serval Project Mesh Extender in extreme environments and in developing countries, where power supply networks are limited , nonexistent or very intermittent, however there are very important use-cases here in Europe too. It can be charged by almost anything, from phone wall charger or a car to hand crank generators, cars, hacked together generators, wind turbines... |

Minstrel-Blues - joint rate and power control |
I will present my work on Minstrel-Blues, a Linux kernel module capable of jointly controlling transmit power and rate in real WiFi networks. By using his algorithm, spatial reuse is increased, and therefore the overall network throughput, by dynamically adapting the power level per link in such a way, that throughout per link is maximized while interference and spectrum pollution is minimized. |

Social events
Thursday morning: Activity outside of the sublab and without laptops! More details to follow.
Saturday evening: Voku (Collective meal) at the sublab. This is normally every saturday evening at the sublab, and quite well attended. It could be a great way to finish the event and for other users of the sublab to find out what battlemesh is about.
More social events to be announced/proposed.
