Wireless Battle of the Mesh – Building Community Networks for Fun and Non-Profit

Autonomic Co-op supports this year’s “Wireless Battle of the Mesh – Building Community Networks for Fun and Non-Profit”.

The event aims to bring together people from across the globe who are interested in community networks, including wireless mesh network technologies, fiber infrastructure, Do-It-Yourself Internet Access Providers, and more generally how to create and maintain a thriving community of people involved in building their own networks.

We envision 4 days of expert presentations, practical workshops, hacking sessions, and fruitful discussions: whether you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, protocol developer, or have an interest in networking in general, come and join the event!

The Battlemesh is free of charge and open for all.

This year, the event will take place from Monday 19th to Wednesday 22nd of September, 2022 in Rome, Italy! It will be followed by the RomHack Camp on September 23-25, also in Rome.

We are writing this post as part of a public endorsement and support for “Wireless Battle of the Mesh – Building Community Networks for Fun and Non-Profit” not only for the efforts made by its community to advance the field of wireless mesh networking and foster the development of grass-roots community networks, but for their contribution to digital freedom rights movement, empowerment of peoples tech/net/media competency and a free and open civil society.

We aim to support the event by:

  • helping to promote it
  • making it possible for our members to join the event

See you there hopefully!
