[Battlemesh] Message from the local team, Battlemesh v9 in Porto, Portugal

[Filipe Ribeiro]

Hi all,

Following the email from Filipe Teixeira, my collegue from INESC, let me
present myself as another local team member. My name is Filipe Ribeiro and
I work at INESC (probably you have already guess it) in the wireless
communications research group. I have been involved in several projects
related to mesh networks in different scopes such as, smart grids, high
density networks and other geeky stuff. From the beginning, when Filipe T.
started to propose this event at Porto I thought it was a great idea.

So, looking forward to see you guys hacking around and, in advance, welcome
to Porto!

Cheers,
Filipe Ribeiro

>
> To put this idea into practice I have talked with Filipe Ribeiro and Mário

> helped setting up the local team necessary to propose this venue to the WBM

> aerial vehicles/drones. At the moment I am more involved in underwater
> networks and maritime communications. One of the most interesting projects
> done in this area was the Mare-Fi, where we give free Internet access to

> Personally I am very motivated to have the WBM in Porto. I am counting on
> the local team and other Portuguese guys who are willing to give a hand,

> At the moment, the most important task is to vote for the date for the WBM

> ASAP, even if you are not sure you can attend.

> If you have any questions, feel free to ask us! We are looking forward to
