On 789, there has been a discussion on the future name of the 789 festival/project/meeting/week. There have been lots of pro's and con's about changing the name each year (888->789->6810?) or using an uniform name for the festival/meeting/project/week in the next years. Please brainstorm here and add your ideas :-) * Hitchfest* 6/8/10* The Road Festival* Ride Festival* Wind Festival* Thumbs up!* Thumbs out!*6.8.10** It's the more logical but why jump the days ? What's the meaning ? Also every year we need Moved to change it, not rally clean. --[[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 07:29, 11 September 2009 (UTC)* ''European hitchhiking week 2010''** It was the second title every year and also it's too burocratic--[[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 08:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)** There are lots of important issues such as choosing destination and coordinating things with the locals in order to avoid what happened in Odessa. Why would we focus on the name so much ? --[[User:Patrishnik|Patrishnik]] 15:57, 01 September 2009 (UTC)** the name represent the identity of the organisation, it bring you motivation and enjoying the project, let's find a nice one. --[[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 21:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)** ''European hitchhiking week 2010'' sounds good --[[User:Patrishnik|Patrishnik]] 15:36, 3 September 2009 (UTC)** That's claiming something we aren't. We don't speak for all the hh clubs in Europe, much less for all the hitchhikers. We just speak for a crazy bunch of people that has been meeting annually for only just 2 years. [[User:blue|blue]]** I totaly agree, one stone by one, be patient, maybe one day It can become a federation, but for the moment less than 200 hitchhikers know about the project, it's like a really little part of the hitchhiking world and to decide that we are a federation, it's a bit pretetious for the hh clubs who work for years on that kind of partenership, also no one of the organisation had very long experience in hh event, it's a bit new for all of us, so step by step, find a not burocratic name is better for that kind of organisation. --[[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 07:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC)** You've made my point. 1 - it's a federation because it aims to bring together the clubs and other people (as opposed to, say, an association). Sorry, it's a semantic difference but an important one. 2- Less than 200 hitchhikers know about 789 *because* there is no common organisation or mailing list. That was behind the suggestion of federation. [[User:Somewhatofftheway|Somewhatofftheway]] 14:28, 12 September 2009 (UTC)** And regarding Patrik's title... if we aren't European hitchhiking week, who is? Nobody else is doing anything like this, and that seems to be the aim.[[User:Somewhatofftheway|Somewhatofftheway6810/Name]] 14:44, 12 September 2009 (UTC)** A lot of others clubs get some different nationnalities in their event...
