We want to have a nice winter gathering this year! Here is a list of the different proposals there are. [[User:Swaden]] was thinking it would be nice to have a (pre-)gathering in Western/Central Europe and another one in Norway for those who can. People could meet at the primer to go to the later together or to stay if they want to.

:"I was a volunteer there in 2018. At the time I asked if they'd be up for allowing the Hitchgathering to happen there, and they said yes. We would probably have to volunteer a bit in exchange. They have their own festival there in July every year, so the beginning of August would probably be fine. I left the place on semi-awkward terms with the owners, so I wouldn't want to ask unless people really want to do it there."

We want to have a nice winter gathering this year! Here is a list of the different proposals there are.

People could meet at the primer to go to the later together or to stay if they want to.

Date

This means with pre-gatherings from the 23th December 2021 and the main gathering(s) happening from the 30th December 2021 with the end being between the 6th and 13th of January. Dates are set only to have a common idea of beginning and ending but are certainly not strict.

Voting to settle locations will be done on November 30th 2021 on Framapoll (once again, this doesn't mean we can't change stuff: this is for ease of organisation). Anyone is free to do a gathering at whichever date and location they want.
