Corinna "Elektra" Aichele. Elektra has been busy working on mesh networking protocols for the Freifunk community in Germany. Before inventing the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing protocol for wireless mesh networks in 2006, she was working on improving the OLSR routing protocol. She is one of the people behind the Mesh-Potato device, a rugged outdoor open-source and open-hardware WiFi router with an FXS port. She is part of the Villagetelco community, that strives to deploy mesh networks for VOIP and data. She lives in a solar-powered home in Berlin, Germany. The philosophy behind her ideas about ubiquitous communication for everyone is: "The fact that you talk in your head doesn't mean that you think - but only that you speak with yourself".
