Battlemesh x OpenWrt meeting in Cyprus?

[Arınç ÜNAL]

I've just created a poll to decide the OpenWrt summit dates, see below. 
I also aim to see how many people are interested in the summit with this 
poll so please vote to decide the dates for the OpenWrt summit.

The "with Battlemesh" option represents the suggestion Hauke has made, 
the last 2 days of Battlemesh in parallel.

Beware if you're on mobile, there are 6 choices.
