The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing together people from across the world to test the performance of different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like [[https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/babel/|Babel]], [[https://www.open-mesh.org|B.A.T.M.A.N.]], [[https://www.bmx6.net|BMX6]], [[http://olsr.org|OLSR]], [[https://open80211s.org/|802.11s]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_routing|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 Wireless Battle Mesh is a non-commercial, volunteer-organized annual convention. |

The goal of the !WirelessBattleMesh 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). | The convention features a variety of talks and workshops on technical and political issues related to mesh networking, wireless community networks and Openwrt firmware development. |

If you want to know who is behind the WBM, you should visit AboutUs. | The purpose of the event is to further topics such as right to connectivity, community-owned infrastructure and related free open source projects. |

After some months of reconsideration, we have concluded that it would be kinda difficult to do the WBMv13 in person this year :..( But our mission can't be shutdown by mere 7.5 kilobytes of RNA - there will be a dedicated mesh developer/community event in 2020! |
Should you not have the means to cover for your travel expenses, please reach out to the orga crew. If sponsoring budget allows, we will support you. |

The idea is to put together a schedule of around 10 interesting presentations, via BigBlueButton (streamcopied to Peertube/YouTube) and a set of topic-based rooms on a voice chat server (mumble). | == Most Recent Event == * '''May 8-14, 2023''' [[BattleMeshV15|BattleMesh v15]] in Calafou / Barcelona (Spain) * BattleMeshV16 is scheduled for 2024.

We could also use this event to try running distributed experiments. For now things are stil flexible - we can change this model according to the expected number of participants. | == Tracks == |

Next Steps: 1) '''Please help us find out how many participants''' we can expect for a small online event that spans over 2 half-days during a weekend in November. by marking your '''preferred date here [1]''' |
Mesh enthusiasts set-up hands-on testbed for mesh routing protocols for testing in real-world environments. Panels with technical presentations & discussions as well as community mingling are part of the agenda. |

2) Please help us spread the word by forwarding this call to your local communities! | Members of wireless communities and activists meet to present & discuss updates on latest developments (community news as well as political events). |
