On the week end of the 13th and 14th of March, a handful of hitchhikers met up in Berlin to kick off the organization of the next European Hitchhiking Gathering. This newsletter is here to tell you what happened.
Thirteen people showed up physically, all of them had hitchhiked from the 4 corners of Europe, except two that came by car and we will keep their identity secret to protect their life :) . One was very present on VoIP, from Australia, many others showed up online, by email, or even by telephone. Anja and [http://hitchgathering.org/users/tau Tau ('''ADD LINKS TO PROFILES ON THE WEBSITE''') ] hosted the event in their home.

===Profiles===
Some more features will also be added on the website soon, such as you can choose whether your profile is public or private (only for logged-in members to see - which is currently the case). We will also be adding support for photo-galleries and other fancy stuff, so that we can have all information in one place to see and read.Ah, and if you don't have a picture yet on your profile, get on it!
