The Wizards of Os experiment

The Wizards of Os[10](WoS) is an annual conference held in Berlin. The main topics for WoS are free software, free content, free science, free networks and free hardware. Quoting from their web-page: ``The wos is showcasing freedom that works''.

At WoS3, held June 10th to 12th 2004, an experimental mesh network was set up. This network was routed by OLSR using the UniK OLSR implementation. This might be one of the biggest real life usage tests of OLSR ever done, with a network of up to 35 nodes, some mobile, some fixed. OLSR was presented as a mean of setting up free wireless community networks at a workshop called free networks where a presentation of the olsrd project was given by the author.
