[babel] Call for participation for BattleMesh V12 (8-14 July 2019, Paris)

[Baptiste Jonglez <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

The local organization team is proud to announce that this year's
Battlemesh will be held near Paris, from 8 to 14 July!

The event aims to bring together people from across the globe who are
interested in community networks, including wireless mesh network
technologies, fiber infrastructure, Do-It-Yourself Internet Access
Providers, and more generally how to create and maintain a thriving
community of people involved in building their own networks.

We envision 7 days full of expert presentations, practical workshops,
late-night hacking sessions, and fruitful discussions: whether you are a
mesh networking enthusiast, community networking activist, protocol
developer, or have an interest in networking in general, come and join us! 

More information about the event is available below or on the website:

Call for participation

We invite participants to propose workshops, talks or panel discussions
