[Battlemesh] Call for WBMv12 Location Proposals

[Filipe Borges Teixeira]

Hi Battlemeshers,

Unfortunately, we do not have any candidates so far. We would really want
to have WBMv12 in 2019, but we need a local team that can help us hosting
the event. Without a venue, we can't do it :(

*If you are interested in organizing next WBM edition, please get in
contact with us so that we can work on that together, even if you are not
sure it's possible.*

Thanks and have a nice week!

Best Regards,
Filipe Teixeira
