Hmm, what would you think about a voip conference for anyone
interested to join :)? I think there are still quite some open
questions about how a BATMAN V algorithm could look like. And I
wanted to discuss some of the recent experiences in mobile
scenarios anyway.

We could try something like mumble for the chatting, I've setup an
experimental server on open-mesh.org on its default port.
I'd suggest something like 6pm UTC. If anyone who's interested to
join can't make it at that time, feel free to suggest
another date then. Anyone who thinks this is fine and would like
to attend, please drop a note :).

Cheers, Linus

PS: Some interesting ideas and questions have been raised so far,
I'm looking forward to interesting answers via email already,
too :).
