I was reading the list of changes to the new kernel (2.6.38) and saw this: > 1.6. B.A.T.M.A.N. Mesh protocol B.A.T.M.A.N. is an alias for "Better > Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking". An ad hoc network is a decentralized > network that does not rely on a preexisting infrastructure, such as routers > in wired networks or access points in managed (infrastructure) wireless > networks. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for > other nodes, and so the determination of which nodes forward data is made > dynamically based on the network connectivity. B.A.T.M.A.N. is a routing > protocol implementation ot these networks. B.A.T.M.A.N is useful for > emergency situations like natural disasters, military conflicts or Internet > censorship. More information about this project can be found at > http://www.open-mesh.org/ > > Does this relate at all to what the folks at the conference from Grinnell were doing?
