<p>With internet shutdowns, censorship, and fragile infrastructure becoming a fact of life, communities need communications that keep working. Reticulum is a practical, open networking stack for resilient, decentralised communication across very different links, from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to LoRa and packet radio.</p> <p>Project: https://reticulum.community/</p> <p>This BoF brings together people building with Reticulum (and those curious about it) to share what's working and align on what comes next. Reticulum is at an inflection point: as the original lead developer steps back from public coordination, this is our moment to turn Reticulum into a community-run project that can realise it’s potential as an alternative communication system.</p> <p>This is a discussion-led working session with people actively deploying and experimenting, including:</p> <ul> <li>a draft formal protocol specification (reviewers and contributors welcome)</li> <li>lessons from a real-world community mesh in Aruba</li> <li>members of the Amsterdam Reticulum community</li> </ul> <p>We'll focus on: agreeing priorities for the next 3-12 months, defining a lightweight coordination model (triage/reviews/releases) and turning interoperability learnings into a shared protocol spec scope and an initial conformance/test-vector plan that enables independent implementations.</p> <p><strong>Outcome:</strong> leave with a short set of priorities, named owners for follow-ups, an agreed spec/outline and test-vector plan and a scheduled next check-in.</p>
