==What to do there?==
* TODO: encourage people to suggest activities; have a workshop list on the website
**'''A website gimmick is possible where people can register a workshop or activity suggestion, even without offering to organize it, and other people can decide to set it up.'''
:My project --[[User:Sitarane.mp|Sitarane.mp]]
== Website ==
* TODO: Ben: '''reorganize menu'''
:That's done actually
* '''reorganize the main page''': have a more stranger-friendly place, put the stories aside
* '''add a short page on Hitchgathering history'''
* TODO: '''how hard it is for off-Schengen to come'''? ... put it on the website in Russian. Figure out how Schengen people can assist.
==Learning points from Hitchgathering 2010 [[Hitchgathering/2011/Evaluation|feedback]]==
* '''Promotion was a pain and boring'''. Who wants to do that?
* '''Concentrate on social media, internet'''
**TODO: Julien: reach out to authors etc (see evaluation suggestion), contact Miicoo (hospex camp organizers), Andrei in Montpelier, La Sophiste, Pavel, Tom (Roadjunky), [http://www.facebook.com/rochjub Roch Jub] (the guy that organizes the Paris-Dakar HH race[http://hitchhikingcontest.org/ Hitchhiking contest]), Mark Boyle (http://justfortheloveofit.org), [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Thomas-Loves-adventures/123615887665522 Thomas Love] (Tomislav Perko).
:Please add some other celebrities.
* TODO: '''have flyers'''
:Contact Robino about last year.
**TODO: track distribution and make it more open; make better use of them
* TODO: '''Much more DIY promotion''', e.g. Michendorf, Grunewald in Berlin, the A'dam spot to Germany, Horner Kreisel in Hamburg
**Paint the web address with your marker on the HH spot, put it on your cardboard and hang it somewhere
**'''Look at the list for getting [[Hitchgathering/2011#Promotion:_DIY.21|more ideas]]''' (additions welcome)
===Location===
* '''have a kitchen like last year''': TODO: sign up for stuff on the website, but mostly local support (soup kitchens?). Same website gimmick...
* '''Find a bike''' (with trailer!) on the spot, as town will bei 40m away
* '''look for nomad bases, open houses, squats and stuff in the east''',
**there is one: TODO: get in touch with Christopher
* '''we need power!: have solar panels'''
Organizational mess is endemic to this event. We tried to brainstorm ways to work less and do more.
* there is the idea of '''regional contact persons''', see above
**TODO: Put a list of countries we need covered on the orga wiki page. People can put their names...
* we do not see a need for much roles and instead '''favor a task-centered approach''':
** '''put names (and dates maybe) on todo items'''
