Hey ksenya, almereyda, dimitry, all,

there was somewhat valid criticism on using the label
"squatconf" for what happened in berlin 2016, already.

i suggest to just reference squatconf in some teaser
for what you are up to, but use a different new name.

or do you think it's great to turn "squatconf" into a brand?
