[Battlemesh] [guifi-rdes] Wireless Battle Mesh (WBM) v4 in Barcelona area early September?

[Roger Baig Viñas]

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for thinking about our country for the next WBMv4, but I would
like to give some more information to my guifi colleagues to let the
have a wider view of the situation.

The idea to do the next arose yesterday late at night before we all
when to sleep. As a rough idea it seems me feasible and so does
Albert, and, as I already told you personally, I'm pretty sure we can
be good hosts, but before going any further, I must say that as far as
I know there isn't a clear consensus among the Wireless Battle of the
Mesh organizers about when the next battle should be. Many of them,
and many participants, too think there must be two WBM or better one
per year at most because otherwise the community has high probability
to split. Or, in other words, they prefer a single big event every
year that many small ones.

A part from that, I must say that I'm afraid that three month is not
enough time for us to prepare such an event.

But, as I promised you, next week I'll do my best to push the debate
within our community to be able to give you, at least, a partial
response.

Best regards.
