[Battlemesh] Payments for WBMv5, a short note

[George Kleissiaris]

Please see the follow video about how google docs and google forms work and
if you think it is a good tool for gathering all the information we need we
can use it. Personally i have used before and it really helped me.

Hi,

generally, I like the idea of having some way to contact the people. 
Especially for the Warmup event because we need to get everyone to show up
at the same place and time. How do these google forms work ? They save the
data somewhere on the google servers? Password protected or can
spammers/other people find it ?

I'd like to handle the talks / workshops in the same way as last year
(interactively via email). Turns out most people need a while to decide what
they want to talk about.  :-) My call for papers should go out tomorrow.

Cheers,
Marek
