Hi battlemeshers,

are you interested in joining the battlemesh but don't know how if you can
afford the travel since you don't live in Europe? We are currently in the
process of securing funds to offer a few travel scholarships, and would like
to invite you to send your application!

Requirements
-----------------

Travel scholarships are open to people not living in Europe. To apply for
the travel scholarships, we would like to ask you to send a short video

longer than two minutes) to describe your situation:

 * Why would you like to attend Battlemesh?
 * What impact in your local environment do you expect from your
participation?
 * Would you be able to attend without the travel scholarship?

Shoot a short video and upload it to one of the video sharing websites and
send us a link. Note that if it is private, we need a direct link and/or
password for it as well.

What is Battlemesh?
-------------------

The Wireless Battle of the Mesh is an event that aims at bringing
together people from across Europe and beyond to test the performance of
different routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, like Babel,
B.A.T.M.A.N., BMX, OLSR, 802.11s and Static Routing.

It is a tournament with social character. If you are a mesh networking
enthusiast, community networking activist, or have an interest in mesh
networks you might want to check this out !

The goal of the WirelessBattleMesh (WBM) events is to set-up hands-on
testbed for each available mesh routing protocol with a standard test
procedure for the different mesh networks. During the different WBM
events, similar hardware and software configuration will be used based
on the OpenWRT BoardSupportPackage and packages for each protocol
implementation. The WBM events are also a great opportunity to develop
testing tools for PHY/MAC radio layers (drivers, scripts and PHY
analyzers) .

This years Battlemesh will take place from 1st - 7th May 2016 in
Porto, Portugal.
