Dear friends,

on the Battlemesh list Matthias wrote a more detailed description and 
correction. I'm directing his answer to all the lists.

many greetings, willi

Hi,

https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon is the main repo, documentation 
can be found at http://gluon.readthedocs.io/ (I must admit though that 
we're missing a nice explanation of exactly what Gluon is.) I wouldn't 
call Gluon a "Freifunk firmware", but rather a "firmware framework", as 
there are no official binaries or default configuration, but only a 
modular framework that makes it very easy to build a community-specific 
mesh firmware.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTNseX0F6zs is the recording of Linus' 
and my talk about Gluon at the WBMv10 (I haven't had a look at the 
recording myself, but I was told it has A/V sync issues - I assume the 
official recordings on media.ccc.de will have better quality as soon as 
they're finished.)

As explained in the talk, Gluon only supports batman-adv at the moment 
(as it came into being by modularizing a batman-adv-based mesh 
firmware), but Babel support is being worked on (and other L3 mesh 
protocols like OLSR2 and BMX7 will be the next step after that).

Kind regards,
Matthias / NeoRaider
