We did compare yes and maybe answers, and the second week was slightly higher 
for those two combined.

However, there are local organization reasons (better room, better logistics, 
more central) which are strong arguments for first week. Therefore this 
decision was made. Eventually, the local organizers can and should decide on 
this, and they did.

At least the last years, nothing happened on Sunday at all - some people came 
to pick up their stuff, but that's about it.

Moving from Sunday to Saturday means that Saturday people can pick up their 
stuff and still catch a plane for Berlin/WCW, if they want.

Of course, this is all not perfect, but everyone can decide on their own which 
event to attend - and nobody is forced to attend battlemesh for the whole 
week, right? :)

I think moving is a good compromise ...

Cheers,
