[Simon Wunderlich]

Hey battlemeshers,

first, please remember that you have one week left to vote for the date for 
battlemesh v8:

We have already collected 35 votes so far (thanks a lot everyone), and would 
appreciate your vote even if you didn't decide if you can make it this year or 
not. :)

As the years before, the Battlemesh is a community event, so we will need 
volunteers to help us with the organization and support the local team. Here 
are some tasks which are still open, please let us know on the mailing list if 
you could help out on any of them:

 * Handling Endorsement - Federico, do you want to take this over again this 
year?
 * Talk Organization/Agenda - Send out call for talks/workshops, collect ideas 
and proposals, put the into a timetable, collect slides etc afterwards.
 * Test preparation/management - create test scenarios or adopt from last 
year, prepare and discuss them with teams, organize evaluation. As you may 
know, this is a challenging, but very interesting task :)
 * Firmware preparation - We can probably use the WBMv7 firmware, but this 
would need to be checked and prepared as well - are all the nice new features 
of all the protocols in? Any bugs squashed? Should it be tested BEFORE the 
event?
 * Logo - design an unique Logo for T-Shirts and Posters :)
 * T-Shirts - the first batch of the T-Shirts was printed in Slovenia last 
year, maybe we can use that again? Any other idea? I probably have a list of 
how many shirts of which size we had last year ...
 * Press Communication - Anyone? (I heard rumors about a PR guy in Slovenia) - 
this could also be divided in local press communication (news papers, radios, 
etc) and global PR (blogs, news websites, ...)
 * Recording and Streaming - we will probably have equipment at the venue, but 
we will need people involved to stream (if that is wanted), post-process, etc 
...
 * Hardware - is there anyone who can sponsor hardware this year?

There are probably more things to do, and also if you have some ideas which 
are not covered in the previous list, please share them and lets get things 
done. :)

Thanks!
     Simon
