(Battlemesh Digest, Vol 125, Issue 6) Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 22:59:25 +0100 From: Filipe Borges Teixeira <filipebteixeira(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: battlemesh(a)ml.ninux.org To: Battle of the Mesh Mailing List <battlemesh(a)ml.ninux.org> Dear mesh enthusiasts, WBM is going virtual! After some months of reconsideration, we have concluded that it would be kinda difficult to do the WBMv13 in person this year :..( But our mission can't be shutdown by a mere 7.5 kilobytes of RNA - there will be a dedicated mesh developer/community event in 2020! The rough idea, for now, is to put together a schedule of around 10 interesting presentations, via BigBlueButton (streamcopied to Peertube/YouTube) and a set of topic-based rooms on a voice chat server (mumble). For now, things are still flexible - we can change this model according to the expected number of participants. We could also use this event to try running distributed experiments. Next Steps: 1) Please help us find out how many participants we can expect for a small online event that spans over 2 half-days during a weekend in November/December. by marking your preferred date here [1]; 2) Please help us spread the word by forwarding this call to your local communities! All the best, The WBMv13 "Virtual Global Edition" orga team [1] https://framadate.org/oqWwMrU4EKJdy1Sl
