I think that a dedicated OpenWrt meeting like in 2019 would be very
good, like a mini-summit for OpenWrt devs to present ongoing work and
recent achievements, but also just meet and talk in person and
possibly even ending up hacking on stuff together.

An official invitation to the OpenWrt meeting/mini-summit and
endorsement of Battlemesh should happen early via all OpenWrt channels
(*-adm mailing list, IRC, Web, Forums). Also, as it's going to be
OpenWrt's 20th anniversary in 2024, we should use that opportunity to
also reach out to a wider audience, ie. prepare some more layer 8/9
talks about the OpenWrt project or the role of free software in the
context of both, protocol research and grassroots networks.

I'm ready to be involved in organizational aspects and also take care
of reaching out to the wider community once we decided on the date.


Cheers

Daniel

Re: Battlemesh x OpenWrt meeting in Cyprus?

I've just created a poll to decide the OpenWrt summit dates, see below. 
I also aim to see how many people are interested in the summit with this 
poll so please vote to decide the dates for the OpenWrt summit.


https://framadate.org/oGXhCQkygdpXGiTh

The "with Battlemesh" option represents the suggestion Hauke has made, 
the last 2 days of Battlemesh in parallel.


Beware if you're on mobile, there are 6 choices.

I will probably join the Battlemesh again, but I wont have much time to

Wednesday - Sunday, 5 days.

It is hard to get people together. I would suggest to plan an OpenWrt 
track on the last 2 days of Battlemesh in parallel.

They’d do most of the heavy lifting and would offer us to take some 
slots/space to do our own little OpenWrt meeting (remember the good 
and productive days in Hamburg anno 2019). Ideally at least one 
OpenWrt member would join their organizing team, I could do it but 
would also be happy if someone else jumps in.


The general idea is to have a week long Battlemesh event in Cyprus, 
the OpenWrt part could happen both within the week, before or after, 
the full length or only a weekend etc. To my knowledge Cyprus offers 
an easier VISA process so more folks could join, I remember last time 
people wouldn’t get a VISA in time.


If we participate we should raise some donations to offer travel 
stipends and come up with some (lighting) talks and presentations.


I think the timeframe is “somewhen in May 2024”, this will be further 
discussed on the Battlemesh mailing list.


Looking forward to meet you all again!

Paul

Battlemesh x OpenWrt meeting in Cyprus?

Hi all,

While attending this years Battlemesh in Spain some fellow mesh people asked 
why there weren’t more OpenWrt people around. I’m guessing it was mostly due to
