Representing Deskthority at the 2015 re-publica in Berlin

Anyone following the surprise box will have read the backstory, so I will put it in spoiler tags here.
Now, I had contact with the girl and we would be able to get room for an installation, the topic would have to match their Motto "Including Europe". I think our sinklists, group workshop projects, and eurocentric perspective on the keyboard-community are more than enough to talk about. Alternatively, we could present one or more projects in their Makerspace GiG http://re-publica.de/sponsor/global-inn ... athering-0
Here is an example of an installation: http://re-publica.de/news/mach-bei-find ... ope-lights
Thing is, they have no budget to give us. We would have to figure out what we need and do our best to get it there in person. MrInterface suggested a short intro video, that he would make.
Now for the clincher: I, as a father and student currently finishing up my masters, cannot shoulder this burden by myself.
IF we, as a community, want to use this chance to get our name out there, we need to come up with a battleplan and I definitely need several folks that will commit to this project. It would help, if there would be one or two members from Berlin or Members that are coming to town for the re-publica anyways to be a part of this. We might also need loan some equipment, like a display for the video. I have an email for their project coordinator, whom I will get in touch with once we have a clear idea what we want and need.
