[Battlemesh] Endrosement strategy, feedback please

[Nemesis]

Hi,

sorry or the delay, very busytime!

This is the text i'd like tosend out to the various communities:

    *Wireless Battle of the Mesh seeking for Endorsements*

    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.

    Endorsement is just a fancy word that means to promote the eventand
    attract the maximum number of people as possible to the event:-D

    *What Does Mean to Endorse*

    Endorsing means to publish an official pressreleases /*(link to the
    press release template here)*/ onyour website which will express
    your community's support to the event and indicate any eventual
    involvement of your community in the event;

    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.

    Additionally but not obbligatorily, your community could also donate
    hardware or money to the event.

    *Why Endorsing is Good*

    The interest in the event will surely grow if potential participants
    would see so many communities and skilled individuals are actively
    participating to it.

    Our goals are:

      * spread the word
      * let potential attendants see who is coming
      * have a poster with all the logos of the endorsers

    *How to Endorse*

     1. Copy this press release template *(LINK HERE)* and modify it
        according to your preferences
     2. Send a mail with the logo of your community to *MAIL HERE* (what
        mail address can we use?)
     3. Publish the press release on your website/blog
     4. Spread it with all the means you can: mailing list, social
        networks, ecc.

    We will feature the logos of the endorsers on our website and poster.

    Please let us know
