What happened is that we were able to have the first flashed devices -
BTW with babeld only - on Friday evening. We tried to configure the
babel daemon but we got stuck, so on Saturday Elektra installed the
batmand package on the devices. We were able to have a working setup,
but when we started an UDP stream through the network, we obtained a
kernel crash. Twice. Then it was time to leave...

So, I think that if we really want to do the tests, we need to have the
firmware prepared in advance, before the event. Also having a place
available 24h, without time limitations, is foundamental.

I have added these suggestions to the org_framework wiki page.
