<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As mentors of the WBMv11 edition, Claudio, Filipe, and Paul
have traveled to Berlin in Germany from December 1-3, 2017 for
the traditional reconnaissance mission, where we met the local
team. This is the recon report with the main conclusions. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Main event description * </div>
<div>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 common umbrella, the
"Wireless Mesh-Up". We have been working with the local team
to create a rough schedule and see the best way to combine the
characteristics of the two events. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Scheduling * </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Location * </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Internet Access * </div>
<div>c-base is a fundamental node of Berlin's Freifunk network,
so we expect no issues here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Accommodation * </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Social Events * </div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Travel * </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Cost estimation * </div>
<div>We estimate the accommodation package to cost around
150-200 euros. There is no registration fee.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*Local organization*</div>
<div>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.</div>
