WIRELESS BATTLE OF THE MESH SEEKING FOR ENDORSEMENTS<br>
====================================================<br>
<br>
The Battlemesh community is seeking for endorsements from well known
communities in the field of Community Networks, Open Routing
Protocols, Open Source Software and Hacktivism.<br>
Endorsement is just a fancy word that means to promote the event and
attract the maximum number of people as possible to the event :-D<br>
<br>
========================<br>
What Does Endorsing Mean<br>
========================<br>
<br>
Endorsing means to publish an official press release (link to the
press release template here) on your website which will express your
community's support to the event and indicate any eventual
involvement of your community in the event.<br>
For example, some people of your community might come to the event;
some others might be the organizers; some others will hold one or
more talks and so on.<br>
<br>
Additionally but not obbligatorily, your community could also donate
hardware or money to the event.<br>
<br>
All the communities endorsing the battlemesh v6 will be listed on
the Endorsers 2013 page ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://battlemesh.org/Endorsements2013">http://battlemesh.org/Endorsements2013</a> )
of our website with their logos, a short description of what they do
and their level of involvement with the event.<br>
<br>
=====================<br>
Why Endorsing is Good<br>
=====================<br>
<br>
The interest in the event will surely grow if potential participants
can see many communities and skilled individuals are actively
involved.<br>
Our goals are:<br>
* spread the word<br>
* let potential attendants see who is coming<br>
* have a poster with all the logos of the endorsers<br>
* have a page with a list of the endorsers<br>
<br>

How to Endorse<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://battlemesh.org/EndorsementTemplate">http://battlemesh.org/EndorsementTemplate</a><br>
* Send a mail with the logo (300dpi transparent background in
svg or eps format) and the description (bio, website link, social
networking accounts) of your community to battlemesh AT ml DOT ninux
DOT org<br>
* Publish the press release on your website/blog<br>
* Spread it with all the means you can: mailing list, social
networks, etc.<br>
