The [[Project 888|888 project]] was a success. Let's make it look ridiculous compared to the 2009 edition. On the 07/08/09, hitchhikers from all over the world will converge on a location that is kept secret up to now (because we haven't decided yet). This page will be used to coordinate the organisers until the month of October. Then we'll make something more informational or attractive.

=== STORY ===
  
==Philosophy==
+
A small group of enthusiastic travelers had decided to organize the first European Hitch-hiking Week.
  
[[Image:789_planning.JPG|thumb|150px|left|[[789]] planning written on the back of a hitchhiking sign]] At the premeeting on the last day of 888, there was a 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, because we want to be seen by strangers.
+
The aim was to give one location and one time for a rally, and broadcast it to all the hitch-hikers of the world. The place was decided to be the "Champs de Mars" in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France; and the time 10pm on the 08/08/08, hence the name of "Project 888".
We need to pick a place where most nations can come visa-free and where we have a local organizer.

150 people showed up from all around Europe and stayed for the 3 days week-end. It was a very intense time of exchange, smiles, and french wine.

2010 : Let's choose a new destination ! Helsinki ? Moscou ? Where ever you want ! Just some importants things have to been said :

** We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
 +
** The necessity of having a local coordinator/support, like an HH club can be the best.
  
 +
=== PHILOSOPHY ===
 +
From the 888 to the 789, hitchikers think that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time and just drink. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers and make some actions in the city ; for example at the 789 in Odessa, we have done a flashmobs about hitchiking to somewhere special and next try to get a lift to the event's place.
  
At the little 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 of Europe that does not require complicated paperwork and expenses to get a visa. Kosovo was also given a lot of attention for that matter but also because we have a great local correspondent there and it can be a great opportunity for us to promote peace and hitchhiking in a region that needs such action.
+
===New fancy name for 2010?===
Any location within the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg Shengen space] will make it close to impossible for the non-Shengen to join. Plus the price of life will be affordable for almost everyone.

[[Image:06.D2003-428.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Where are those fucking hicthhikers !?! (Ukranian Soldiers in Odessa beach)]]
 
===[[Ukraine]]===
 
Ukraine is getting a lot of attention right now because it seems it is the only country in Europe where any other European can go without much visa-issue. Check out the [http://www.hitchwiki.org/en/Talk:789 discussion]
 
  
===Kamenica, [[Kosovo]]===
+
[http://www.the789project.com/ Official Website of the organisation of the third hitchhiking week]
*+: We have a great contact there that can find us a space and get us the media.
 
*+: Would be a really cool challenge.
 
*+: Hitchhiking for peace!
 
*+: The big Hammam (Hamami i Mahd), built in 1470, 15 domes, but no mix male female
 
*-: The border crossing is a bit difficult / event may become slightly political
 
*-: Hitchhiking in Montenegro... forget it (unless you give money) [is it? [[User:Whisperingofthestars|Jason]] and his friend managed it easily and extremely fast in May, 2008]. Also Serbia is quite hard [since when? The only problem seems to be wild camping because of the goddamn mines!].
 
*-: 11 205 hab in Kamenica, why not Pristina, for much attention ?: because we do not a have a great local correspondant there. The local correspondant in Kamonica knows all the networks so no need to go to Pristina.
 
  
===Krakow (Cracow), Pologne===
+
===TASK LIST===
*+: In the centre of EU -good access from every Euro country
 
*+: Big grassy open space next to the Old Town to make a meeting
 
*+: Places to get a full dinner for 2-4 euro
 
*-: Shengen space. Tough visa for Russians, Bellarussians, Turkish, Yougoslavians
 
*-: It's strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in public spaces!
 
*-: polish police is usually unkind, so better to have everything legal, in Krakow - touristic capital of Poland - they might not be interested in having banch of dirty hhikers...

==Concerns==
 
 
 
The two main concerns raised at the 888-last-day-meeting were:
 
*Female HH safety in the country of arrival and in the "impossible to go around" countries.
 
*The necessity of having a local coordinator/ support.
 
 
 
==Coordination/Communication==
 
 
 
===Web Site===
 
 
 
*We really have to get a Forum to help people organize their rides. We can't rely on CS groups, they suck.
 
: I can do that --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 15:49, 11 August 2008 (CEST)
 
* So,Do we need our own web site, or we stay on hitchwiki with all, can we find --[[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]]18:23, 14 august 2008 (CEST)
 
 
 
*Hitchwiki :
 
**+ easy for everyone to evaluate the project
 
**+ belongs to the hitchhiker community
 
**+ everyone can edit, it is the most horizontal way of organising
 
**- a lot of thing isn't possible to do on that kind of site?
 
***Any examples?
 
**+ we can integrate video + photo and also blog-postings.
 
**+ Already well known by search engines, so will lead more users to the site.
 
 
 
*Own Web site :
 
**+ all in one !
 
**+ autonomy/responsibilities
 
***You can have that on hitchwiki as well. Maybe just ask next time, instead of doing everything alone ;) There are some very motivated technical people around here ;)
 
**+ We're doing it for the world! We'll look more professional with a website.
 
*** to look More Professionnal isn't more useful... apparence will come after [[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 19:53, 25 August 2008 (CEST)
 
**- take a time to make it work
 
 
 
*Others propositions : ?
 
** We could have a Wordpress blog that can also have static pages. We can easily also integrate video + photo's and make it possible for anyone to post new blog-entries + link it directly to the wiki-pages. Plus, there are already Wordpress blogs [http://blogs.hitchwiki.org/ integrated] into this wiki but we could also do it external, see for a good example [http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com/ this site]. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 14:15, 15 August 2008 (CEST)
 
** How about [http://drupal.org Drupal] - a real CMS with tons of functionality installable as ready-made modules (including forums, wiki-style capabilities, user profiles, other community oriented features, media hosting, localization...), free & open source, active developer community, fast initial site setup, relatively painless to maintain even without programming experience (at least if the modules don't have to be customized too much). [[User:Narnua|Narnua]] 18:18, 19 August 2008 (CEST)
 
*** Drupal is a really good cms sure but if we are going to it we need to have someone who really know Drupal php ect hmm... [[http://www.webschuur.com/node/411|look here it's explain mush better than me]]but when it's done it's perfect, anyway we have to know what functionality we want and need before starting develop on a specific cms [[User:Xo|xo]]
 
**** I wouldn't mind starting it off / helping with module tweaking but some more people would probably be needed as well for better sustainability [[User:Narnua|Narnua]] 14:31, 20 August 2008 (CEST)
 
 
 
*What are the things we would want on a separate website? Suggestions:
 
** Welcome page
 
** Page for logistics
 
** Blog-interface for latest updates
 
** Integration with wiki-pages?
 
** Integration with forum
 
** Placeholder for media
 
 
 
: Once again, edit if you want to add something.
 
 
 
===Coordination with the HH clubs===
 
 
 
We have to build a coordination with some partners, like the clubs of hitch-hikers in europe and maybe more ! everyone can ask to a club near from his place.
 
 
 
*Ukrainian hitch-hiking club "Mainroad"

STORY

A small group of enthusiastic travelers had decided to organize the first European Hitch-hiking Week.

The aim was to give one location and one time for a rally, and broadcast it to all the hitch-hikers of the world. The place was decided to be the "Champs de Mars" in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France; and the time 10pm on the 08/08/08, hence the name of "Project 888".

150 people showed up from all around Europe and stayed for the 3 days week-end. It was a very intense time of exchange, smiles, and french wine. And they continue to meet every year in a different place.

2008 : The 888 project On 08/08/08 , hitchhikers from all over the world converged to Paris, for the first european hitchiking week.

2009 : The 789 project. On 07/08/09, Hitchikers meet again in Odessa in Ukraine, Eastern Europe.

2010 : Let's choose a new destination ! Helsinki ? Moscou ? Where ever you want ! Just some importants things have to been said :

    • We need to pick a place where many people can come without visas and where we have a local organizer.
    • The necessity of having a local coordinator/support, like an HH club can be the best.

PHILOSOPHY

From the 888 to the 789, hitchikers think that the event is more to promote the concept of Hitch-hiking rather than to all meet up somewhere and have a good time and just drink. This is why the proposal of meeting outside a city was ruled out: we want to be seen by strangers and make some actions in the city ; for example at the 789 in Odessa, we have done a flashmobs about hitchiking to somewhere special and next try to get a lift to the event's place.

New fancy name for 2010?

Moved to 6810/Name.

DESTINATION

Moved to 6810.

Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the third hitchhiking European week.
