Hey everyone,

As promised, here is a draft for something that could become a manifest or press release.

As Ivan said correctly, we actually need to start thinking about a brand, and a name. What shall we call ourselves? New Europe Investors sounds dull and does not encompass everyone. We're more than just investors, and that's a key part of the message.

Any ideas?

For some reason, I couldn't share this with everyone in Google Drive. Ivo, can you upload and share it?

Thanks,

Max

Thanks Maxim, good work! I tried to add everyone to the document on GDocs - hope we don't have too many of the usual domain hiccups.

Name / branding: my suggestions would be either to keep the name of the workshop as the name for the group i.e. "Hacking New Europe" or perhaps "New Europe Networks"...

It's a great document, congratz Max!

My only two comments:

>> In the title I would put "New Europe startup communities unite" instead of "investors" as from "investors" one might think VC's etc., I think this is more precise

>> I would change "centralize" into "coordinate" where it appears, "centralize" reminds me a bit too much of central planning and socialism :-))

Perhaps it makes sense to list the participating organizations, if you think it does here's a list in alphabetical order of countries:

Austria: STARTeurope
Bulgaria: Eleven, Launchub
Croatia: ZIP
Czech Republic: Node5, Techsquare
Estonia: Gamefounders
Finland: Startup Sauna
Montenegro: Domain.me
Poland: HardGamma
Romania: Geekcelerator
Serbia: SEE ICT
Slovakia: Neulogy
Slovenia: Hekovnik
Ukraine: BVU Group, IDCEE

Next question - how do we distribute this? Since I'm guessing we haven't filled in the nice spreadsheet Kadri prepared (thanks Kadri!) probably best for each of us to send to our various media contacts in the countries.
Who will send to international media people? I'm guessing we all know roughly the same people so perhaps it's best for Maxim to send that out?

Cheers,

Ivo
