==General===== Organisation & Discussion ===http://www.hitchgathering.org
=== Latest News ===*In Kara Dere the The 2012 European Hitch Gathering will be in Ambraziškiai, near Molėtai, Lithuania. The date for Hitchgathering 2012 main event was decided: is still Saturday 4 August 2012**It was suggested that the main event would be a culmination point for a series of mini-meetings around Europe that could be well-prepared and organized during June and July prior to the main event. This would allow a bigger participation, more promotion, longer travels together and, of course, a wider reach.

====Cons====<nowiki>#4812hh</nowiki>
Since the second most popular destination was [[Berlin]] in the 2011 vote===City, the participants of the Magdeburg pre-meeting all agreed to suggest Berlin already as a destination. Here are the reasons for this proposal: *I think that after going for three years to challenging destinations, most people will agree it'd be nice to try a central, easy and popular place in Europe.*A lot of energy is spent discussing the destination. Having the destination set more than one year in advance allows to concentrate on other issue, given the limited volunteer-hours we dispose of.*In the previous installments, we only have a consensus on the destination a few month before the event, leading to many shortcomings in the organisation.*Democracy sucks --[[User:Sitarane.mp|Sitarane.mp]] About the dates:*Last week end of April is a 5-day-weekend for most of Europe (the 1st of May is holyday in most countries and it falls on a Tuesday).** I think that is to early - in my opinion May is NOT the beginning of summer (as in: the free time I have during summer which I use to travel) and I guess most people still have to work in May/June before they start bumming around --[[User:N0id|N0id]] 15:24, 2 April 2011 (CEST) '''How about 12/12/12 in Finland (in -12 celsius)? :)'''--[[User:Astikain|Astikain]] 00:43, 27 July 2011 (CEST)country===

===Website work===
====Translation====
We can create content simply under /lt/ etc pages, or create multiple websites under WP. I recommend that we don't translate everything, but rather create "about" page in multiple languages - would be useful in future years, too. - [[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 01:40, 17 July 2012 (CEST):How do we do that? [[User:Sitarane|Sitarane]] 13:55, 17 July 2012 (CEST)::You can go to [http://hitchwiki.org/community/hitchgathering/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type====Other====page edit pages here] and see the stuff under "language"? Just add new pages in languages and add whatever content you feel like should be translated. ;-) At least short what/when/where. You can translate [http://hitchwiki.org/community/hitchgathering/press/ press] and/or [http://hitchwiki.org/community/hitchgathering/about/ about] pages. Currently Tomi/Astikain, Julien/Sitarane, Mikael, Jona/N0id, Ralf/Platschi, Kasper/Guaka can edit pages. [http://hitchwiki.org/community/hitchgathering/contact/ Send me] your hitchwiki account if you wish to be able to edit stuff, or just edit to the wiki and I'll add it later to the site. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 15:19, 17 July 2012 (CEST)
