Anybody interested in speaking about the People's Open Network at Mass
Effect?
I don't mind doing it if nobody else wants to, but it would be nice to have
a variety of speakers.

All--
I ran across something interesting on eBay, a lot of 4 rugged GoBook III
Ix260 laptops. These are Pentium M laptops (i.e. old and slow) but they are
rugged, they have built-in GPS capabilities, touch screens, and bright
outdoor-viewing displays. They come without hard drives, but with caddies.
I wonder if these might be useful for warbiking / node mapping, or other
mesh/sudo activities? I am interested to fool around with them, and
wouldn't mind owning one, but am hesitant to buy all 4 unless there is
likely to be a use for them (and unless I could recover some of the cost).
A little googling indicates that Ubuntu seems to run fine on them (I am
running Lubuntu on a similarly-specced Dell, and am super happy with it).
There might be an issue getting the touch screen to work -- I saw a
question about that without any response.

Hi!
Battlemesh is an amazing opportunity to meet mesh enthusiasts from all
around the world. Recommend greatly!
Maybe an opportunity to present your firmware and get feedback on it
from everyone? And the mesh the planet portal?

Subject: [Battlemesh] Happy new year / Announcing WBMv7!
To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List <battlemesh(a)ml.ninux.org>
Dear Battlemesh enthusiasts,
hope you all had a smooth start into the year 2014 - best wishes for all
upcoming endeavors, also on behalf of the local organization team!
==========================================================
Announcing the Wireless Battle Mesh v7
(12th of May - 18th of May 2014, Leipzig, Germany)
==========================================================
The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from Mon 12th
till Sun 18th of May at the Sublab Hackerspace in Leipzig, Germany. 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!
Information about the event is gathered at:
http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7
Location
========
The event takes place at the Sublab Hackerspace in Leipzig, Germany.
There will be room for hacking with software and hardware, talks and
presentations, as well as informal discussions between participants.
Participant Registration and Fee
================================
The event itself is free of charge and open for all, so to register
without hotel and food supply, simply add your name to the participant
table.
http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7/Participants
If you wish low cost accommodation, a special group booking has been
arranged. Payment in advance is required to get the full benefit of
the discount. Therefore, like for the previous event, this year's
edition features an "early bird low cost" registration program: Bed and
breakfast in a hostel in down town Leipzig from Monday till Sunday plus
dinner arrangements on the first two evenings are available for 150⬠if
the payment is received before February 15th, 2013. The price goes up to
175⬠for all payments made after February 15th. These late arrangements
are subject to availability.
We'll post detailled information on the payment method and account info
asap.
Of course, this package is not compulsory. You can also find your own
bed and food supply yourself during the event if you wish to do so.
More information can be found here:
http://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV7#Participant_Registration_and_Fee
Spread the Word
===============
Feel free to spread the word by forwarding this mail to all lists /
people that might be interested in it. Blogging about the event is more

Hi Marc and Ryan
Thats cool! If you guys are into it let me know - either for the 29th
(depending on Jake's schedule) or after..
I need one more presentation for the 29th so let me know if you guy want to
present then or Jake if you want to?
The presentations are 20-30 min - there will proabably be 100-150 people
though this space is huge so there may be more.
Doors open at 7:30 and it goes till about 10:30-11:00
The dorks would totally be into hearing about this!
Thanks! -Karen
