[Battlemesh] Call for WBMv13 Location Proposals

[Filipe Borges Teixeira]

Hi!

*WBM needs your help*

We found that unfortunately some of the options pointed out during
the Wireless Battle of the Mesh community meeting did not succeed. At this
moment we have received only one proposal for WBMv13 location after our
call for locations. It would be great if other locations are proposed as
well - it would allow to choose the best option and give us margin if
anything goes wrong.

If you have a suitable location and a motivated local team for organizing
the next WBM edition, please get in contact with us through
v13 at battlemesh.org so that we can work on that together. At this point,
there is no problem if it is a draft proposal or if you're not yet sure if
it is possible.

We're also in contact with OpenWRT to work on the proposal of colocating
WBMv13 and OpenWRT meeting next year that we've talked about during the
battlemesh community meeting.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Filipe Teixeira



If you have a suiteable location and a team motivated to push

   * A place in Europe that can be easily reachable and, if possible,
affordable to travel to;
 * A venue for about 100 participants for about one week, that provides
space for work and for talks, and Internet access;
 * Food (supermarket, restaurant, canteen, catering, cooking on-site, ...)
and affordable accommodation (hotels, hotels, camping, ...) is available in
proximity;
 * The available dates do not conflict with other community events (or we
join forces and collocate :-) ).
