Let's start the event
A talk about community fibre deployment concepts, experiences, costs, needed tools, splicing fibre cables, 10G/25G/100G equipment recommendations
small tank about mesh networks and the process around them in Argentina
A journey on how I rewritten shared-state in rust and how it pleasantly fits in OpenWrt routers.
QKD in a nutshell for Battlemeshers, Labtour with entanglement based quantum key distribution systems, Rosenpass & OpenWrt Wireguard integration
Let's see together what's inside APuP, how to benefit from, and future developments
Preseting an OpenWRT-based research-prototype for isolating smart home devices.
What is the perspective for OpenWRT - packges?
An overview of old and new mesh routing protocols.
Nostr (notes and other stuff transmitted via relays) is a simple protocol for exchanging information in the form of signed JSON. User generated public keys serve as identities and all business logic is executed client side to minimize reliance on 3rd party infrastructure. Thanks to social media clients, users have started to create lists of public keys that they want to receive content from, thus creating the first web of trust that bootstrapped successfully. However, I just use nostr as an overlay network, which allows me to ignore low level networking details when I want to implement application layer tooling for mesh networks.
Let's take a look on projects from last year and this year, let's discuss if we want to continue with GSoC.
Smart switches are part of most wireless infrastructures - but many still run the vendor firmware, capabilities to install own software are limited. OpenWRT enables open firmware with modern Linux kernel, software updates, and your own software. Recent Realtek Switches come with great specs at a reasonable price point. I'll provide an overview of technical capabilities and limitations, current integration status and features of OpenWRT on Realtek, and discuss some applications for testbeds, community networks and wireless ISPs.
Deploying Nextcloud on SBC (Single Board Computers). Targeted audience are normal people. A personal cloud for Addresses, Calendar, Passwords, and maybe Photos hosted on your own {Raspberry,Orange,Banana,Rock}-Pi. Current status: VPS is ready, realizing peer-to-peer backup.
Learn how to deploy your own fibre network
Reactivate CN-SIG !!!
Try to increase the forwarding performance by intercepting a data packet very early inside or even before the Linux network stack.
A standalone tool to visualize mesh networks from JSON files.
We will show a demo how to also use the Mesh Graph Viewer as a visual interface for a simulated mesh network running batman-adv.
See https://github.com/mwarning/MeshGraphViewer/
Have you been wondering how to keep using your old routers that have not enough storage to fit a modern OpenWrt insie? Me too let's discuss about it toghether.
We will discuss the picopeering agreement with the goal of enhancing it, to suit the communities needs even better. (pros/cons, bugs, scope ...)

Remote participants can join the discussion via this jitsi-link:

These are the notes from last years meetings, on which we can build:

After the Kickoff with Monic and Adam, we would like to discuss topics, such as the scope, the title and the potential further locally as an offline session at the Battlemesh.
Did you remained sadly surprised by the lack of a way to programmatically
configure build options of Linux kernel? I have.
I needed to configure Linux kernel and OpenWrt (which uses Kconfig too) build
options from a script but found no proper way to do it, so I had to come up with
this.
There should be an easy way for community networks to make themselves known to the world, and there should be an easy way to find out about community networks, when traveling somewhere, making research, etc.
The HackerSpace Wiki does a good job hackspaces. Let's reflect how we could build something similar!

Kiezbox is a pilot project to build an emergency mesh network.
Aimed to provide average citizens a means of communication in case of blackouts.
Developed as open source project and publicly funded by the state of Berlin.
After a quick recap, I will focus on some interesting technical aspects and achievements.
Community networks movement in Indonesia gaining its momentum during COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020. Currently the movement has been growing, while enhancing community-centered connectivity initiatives with meaningful access in rural & remote areas.
Let's look in the results and talk about the events itself.
