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