> The Wireless Battle of the Mesh[1] is an event that aims to bring together

> 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[2]) are always welcome!

> This year the even will take place from Monday 15th till Sunday 21st of April
> at the University of Aalborg, Denmark.

> The event originally went back to an intensive discussion between some BATMAN 
> folks and me (on the OLSR side) about which routing protocol approach was 
> truly the better choice specifically for community wireless networks.

> According to my memory, in response to this mail exchange, Xavier and a few

> Of course, we never came to a decisive conclusion, but it turned out to

> 
> In the last years, the WBM events have been growing steadily into a successful
> hackathon for community wireless networks across the world. 
> 
> If you decide to participate, you will a) meet OLSR developers b) be able to 
> discuss and test your meshing ideas with like-minded people c) have lots of 
> fun on the way. And it is a hell of a learning experience.
> 
> And new community wireless networks get created on the way. For example, ~ two

> OLSR.org will support the event by:
> 
> 	• help to promote the event
> 	• bring members of the community to the event
> 	• give talks about advancement of our community in certain aspects
> 	• provide hardware for the routing protocol testing
