>> As there is a big intersection of participants between the Wireless
>> Battlemesh and Wireless Community Weekend, the idea for this year's edition
>> is to join the forces and co-locate the two events, organizing them under a

>> characteristics of the two events.
>>
>> * Scheduling *
>> Since we have put the two events together and keeping the same one-week
>> WBM structure, we precede the Wireless Community weekend, which was already
>> scheduled for 11th to 13th of May. Therefore the WBMv11 edition, together
>> with WCW 2018 will happen from 7-13 May 2018.
>>
>> * Location *
>> Since the WBMv11 will be co-located with WCW 2018, we will keep the
>> c-base space station, Berlin, Terra as the event location. We have visited
>> the space station to check if space was enough to fit in the targeted 100
>> people peak. Although space can be a little short on peak times, we believe
>> there should be enough space during the week: we are free to use the main
>> room, the Ceminarroom, the outdoor garden and other small spaces at ground
>> level and at the lower level. Beverages are available on site and Barbeque
>> will happen from Friday to Sunday. During the week there will be different
>> food options, whether on-site or nearby. We have confirmed the sponsorship
>> from Förderverein freie Netzwerke e.V. that covers the room costs so far.
>>
>> * Internet Access *
>> c-base is a fundamental node of Berlin's Freifunk network, so we expect
>> no issues here.
>>
>> * Accommodation *
>> Two different facilities were visited: hotel meininger at ostbahnhof and
>> City-Stay hostel. They offer triple rooms and 4-bed dorms at affordable
>> prices. Both locations were close to c-base by public transports. An
>> accommodation package is under negotiation and should remain under 200 EUR.
>>
>> * Social Events *
>> Social events are planned to happen from Wednesday - Friday. We have
>> discussed some ideas, but the local team will provide more details closer
>> to the event.
>>
>> * Travel *
>> Berlin is very well connected with flights, from low-cost companies to
>> legacy ones in two international airports: Tegel Airport (TXL) and
>> Schönefeld Airport (SXF). Public transport (train) is available between
>> airports and city center.
>>
>> * Cost estimation *
>> We estimate the accommodation package to cost around 150-200 euros. There
>> is no registration fee.
>>
>> *Local organization*
>> The local core team consists of Monic Meisel, with helping hands of Andi,
>> Cven, and others from Freifunk community The local team was very helpful
>> and motivated, with a lot of logistic details taken care already.
