I've worked on metro and adhoc based mesh networks at Airespace and then Cisco (Cisco acquired Airespace) as one of two architects. The mesh project I worked on was deployed for the city of Mountain View (dual use for VTA traffic stats), Stanford University, and for drone video surveillance during operation desert storm. The state of the art has improved much since, today I find the following paper on decentralized routing utilizing a cellular automata based approach very interesting:
"A Routing Algorithm based on Cellular Automata for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks"

510pen is building a community mesh network throughout the east bay. Join us at Sudoroom for a series of meetups to discuss basic how and why of community mesh networks; wireless network hardware and software; how various community wireless efforts can cooperate and collaborate; models for organic growth, organization, support and sustainability; and how we can join forces with local residents, small businesses, non-profits, municipalities and anyone else to build a ubiquitous community mesh network.The first meetup will be at 8:30pm on Thursday Jan 31st:
(this is the continuation of a series of mesh networking meetups we held at Noisebridge way back in 2009 https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Wireless_Mesh_Network_Meetup :)--mark B.
