[Battlemesh] WBMv6 third option: Vienna

[Joseph Bonicioli]

I'd vote for this!

Been there, seen it, done it, and it works. 
Techgate is a Very good location, good hospitality, covering easy all the
needs for a good BM.

Hi!

Team: the usual Funkfeuer suspects :)

Location: probably the Techgate. http://www.techgate.at/en/home/
  They essentially have everything there. Very easy for any event.
   It is very well connected via public transportation (metro) and you are
in the center in 7 minutes. 
   Fiber connection available
   Next to the Techgate you have a sidearm of the Danube where you can
either swim or take a boat ride. 


If you are interested, I can also look out for more "grungy/ underground"
locations (less chic). We could probably get some rooms at the University as
well. 

Date: I would propose end of April or beginning of May since then the
weather starts to be really nice and it is great time to also experience the
city.

As already mentioned - a warm up event with mountain hiking and installing
Wi-fi nodes in the alps can be arranged.

Vienna has a few advantages:
  * it is well connected, flights are cheap, it is central in Europe. 
  * things are easy. Transportation is very good
  * going out is still affordable compared to other major european cities.
  * hostels/hotels are OK 

Well, it is sort of the comfy-but-not-too-expensive option IMHO.


Aaron.


PS: I already organized an event there, so I know how it goes. It's not so
complicated.
