==========================================================
The Wireless Battle Mesh v10
5th - 11th of June 2017, Vienna, Austria
==========================================================

The next 'Wireless Battle of the Mesh' will take place from Mon 5th -
Sun 11th of June in the Austrian Museum of Folk Life And Folk Art
(http://www.volkskundemuseum.at) in Vienna.

The event aims to bring together all people from across the globe that
are interested in wireless mesh network technologies and community
networks in general. 6 days full of expert presentations, late night
hacking sessions, measurement campaigns, protocol discussions, and a
whole lotta other meshy things.

So if you are a mesh networking enthusiast, community networking
activist, or have an interest in mesh networks in general, you have to
check this out!

Location
========

We are located in the upper floor of very nice historical museum in the
middle of Vienna. One large conference room and two adjacent hacking
areas are at our full disposal there. The whole area offers nice
atmosphere and plenty of room to deploy measurement testbeds. The
adjacent park is a beautiful analog distraction, especially in this time
of the year. The metalab - a very active local hackerspace - is only 5
minutes away.


Accommodation Offering
======================

For those of you who are looking for a convenient and low cost
accommodation option: we have made block reservation for 40 people in a
nice hostel 10-15min walking distance from the Museum. The packages
include 6 nights in a four-bed room incl. breakfast - for a mere €100.
Follow the simple instructions below to get one of these hot deals  a
first come first serve scheduler is used.


Registration
============

The event is *free of charge* and registration is optional - but it
makes the organisation much easier if you tell us in advance that you
plan to come.
