+Autonomic Co-op supports this year's "Wireless Battle of the Mesh - Building
+Community Networks for Fun and Non-Profit".
+
+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 4 days of expert presentations, practical workshops, 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 the event!
+
+The Battlemesh is free of charge and open for all.
+
+This year, the event will take place from Monday 19th to Wednesday 22nd
+of September, 2022 in Rome, Italy! It will be followed by the RomHack
+Camp on September 23-25, also in Rome.
