==========================================================
       Announcing the Wireless Battle Mesh v9
    (1st - 7th of May 2016, Porto, Portugal)
==========================================================

The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from Sun 1st till Sat 
7th of May at Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, Porto, Portugal. 
The event aims to bring together people from across the globe to test the 
performance of different routing 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) are always welcome!

It is not required to be active within the mentioned protocols, so if you are 
a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an 
interest in mesh networks in general, you have to check this out!

Location
========

The event takes place at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of 
Porto, Porto, Portugal. It features one large meeting room with three distinct 
areas: a working space, with tables and Internet connection, a conference 
space for talks, and a small kitchen. The room is located centrally in the 
campus and has a large grass area outside. The department buildings will be 
used to deploy the wireless routers across the common spaces, labs and meeting 
rooms.


Participant Registration and Fee
