===Communication===
* Main organisation platform is the [[Hitchgathering/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|Hitchgathering {{CURRENTYEAR}} wiki page]]. Here you can collect/present proposals, [[Talk:Hitchgathering/{{CURRENTYEAR}}|discuss]] them and vote.
* upload your pictures from past gatherings to a webservice like [https://www.wetransfer.com/ wetransfer] or [http://www.dropbox.com dropbox] and sent the link to [email protected]. You can also sent him stories and the like and he'll add it to the [http://www.hitchgathering.org website]!
* Is there space for 100-200 persons?
* Can we acquire drinking water somewhere nearby?
* What else is important?
Early August, typically at first weekend. People will arrive some days earlier and many stay for like 1-2 weeks. New people keep coming and going during these two weeks. Festival sort of fades in and fades out, most busiest days having over 100 people at once.
Each year somebody suggests if the main event could be moved to June/July. Each time we come again to same conclusion: early August is the most optimal for all the students/working people to have a hitching trip. There will be smaller pre- and post-gatherings happening all the summer.
