One of the core traditions at BattleMesh: deploy a mesh network on site, run multiple routing protocols (Babel, B.A.T.M.A.N., OLSR, 802.11s …) and compare them in the field.

Here's a talk from a previous edition on mesh routing and network resilience:

BattleMesh brings together community networks from Freifunk, guifi.net, ninux.org, NYC Mesh, and many more — across Europe and beyond.

Every network faces different challenges, but we share a goal: open, community-driven connectivity.

Which network are you part of? Tell us in the replies.

Did you know?

The first Wireless Battle of the Mesh took place in Paris in April 2009 — and this September we're hosting the 18th edition.

Since then, communities across Europe and beyond have met each year to test routing protocols, share knowledge, and build friendships. BattleMesh v18 runs 7–13 September in Gornji Karin, Croatia — free of charge and open to all.

What’s a ‘Pico Peering Agreement’ (PPA)?

‘minimum baseline template for a peering agreement between owners of individual network nodes’

https://picopeer.net/

It encapsulates ethics and philosophy of community wireless mesh networks (and maybe also the #fediverse?).

Today 18:20 CEST, there will be a hybrid workshop on how the PPA could be further improved, at #battlemesh v17:

We didn't start the fire*
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

* actually we did start the fire
