789
,no edit summary
==Philosophy==
At the pre-meeting on the last day of 888, there was consensus on the fact that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers.
We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
==Where==
At the meeting on the last day of [[888]], the general consensus was that the location had to move East, after Paris. If possible outside of the 15 original EU member-states. Ukraine was given a lot of attention because it is the only country in Europe where Schengen Zone Europeans, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bielorussians, Russians and Turks can come together (though it is hard for hitchhikers from outside Europe to get a visa, they generally need an invitation letter).
