<font face="Helvetica, Arial,

Arial, sans-serif">As discussed in
Aalborg, I want to re<font

endorsement strategy to <font

sans-serif">promote the event to
a broader audience<font
face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">. <font

things in advance we can
achieve the fol<font

we start promoting the
event, which would be
great:<br>
</font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font>
<ul>
<li>endorsement 2014 page ready</li>
<li>a digital poster with all the logos of the endorsers and
sponsors (if accepted by the community and present)</li>
<li>few big printed posters to put at the event if not too
expensive</li>
<li>shirts</li>
</ul>
<p>To achieve this we need:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>collaboration from each endorser</li>
<li>find at least 1 volounteer graphic designer</li>
<li>at least two people, (I offer myself as a volounteer again for
this) and someone else, which take care of coordinating these
aspects - but it would better to have 3, so if anyone is busy
the second or the third person can keep doing the remaining
things</li>
</ul>
<p>As next step in the following weeks I will copy the page of the
2013 endorsers in a new page for 2014, contact each endorser and
ask if they are willing to endorse again the next edition, plus
contacting again those who didn't make it to be on the endorsement
list (OpenWRT, Funkfeuer are the first that come into my mind).<br>
</p>
<p>Regarding social networks,</p>
<p>I saw this new facebook page:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.facebook.com/Battlemesh">https://www.facebook.com/Battlemesh</a><br>
</p>
<p>And this twitter account:<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<a href="https://twitter.com/battlemesh">https://twitter.com/battlemesh</a><br>
</p>
<p>It would be great to use them to promote the event, before and
during the event with live updates.<br>
</p>
<p>As a last note, I would like to point out that this is one of the
most interesting, friendly, fun and skilled community organized
events I've been to.<br>
</p>
<p>Costs are purposely kept low, main focus is of technical
improvement and sharing of knowledge, it's fun, it's interesting,
cutting-edge, real, "<b>non รจ fuffaware</b>" as we would say in
italian.</p>
<p>It's not a conference organized by some big organization which
costs money to get in, it's not exclusive and I hope we intend to
keep the spirit this way. So my goal at improving the promotion is
purely aimed at reaching all the people out there that have not
realized the battlemesh potential but would surely love it and
learn a lot from it if they come.<br>
