Participants

Online Participants

  • Updating wiki
  • IRC? Skype?
    • During the conference (if internet available), we try to be available at #hitchhiking on freenode. If you don't have an IRC Client yet, you can join the chat right here!

Ideas

  • Hitchhiking traces.
    • Stickers/ flyers?
    • Little "visit cards" to give our drivers so that they can follow the action online or something.
  • Collect information on drivers
    • Create a way on the website to share this information
    • Goal: to show more about people who pick hitchhikers up
  • Workshops?
  • add more


Current Website Issues & Options

  • Newsletter and user-account integration is still problematic
    • Many people are not included in the newsletter and are not included upon account registration. Need to check both lists
    • To unsubscribe people have to first login? Should add a link to request new pw
  • Very poor integration with photos from Flickr and Facebook
  • Need to organise and separate 789 information/ users from 6810 more coherent
  • Need logo's and other promotion material
  • More multi-media content? Video's? Photo-upload options
  • Do we want more social networking aspects integrated? What type/ form? Or we keep it more minimal?
    • User relationships (traveled with/ met), Facebook connect (linking it with your facebook account/ checking who of your friends is a user already), Twitter integration, etc.
  • Profiles private or public, or give user the option?
  • Location tracking of hitchhikers? Creating a map to show people's routes?


Funding

There is a possibility to get money from EU for Youth in Action. Stefen volunteers for this.

  • This is money we can use for promotion-material: website, posters, stickers, flyers, random roads
  • Not necessary to put logo on the public things. So you have to explain why you didn't do it. This program is not about the EU but about education and having more integration on of the event etc.
  • Needs to make a documentary about it
  • For each cent we spend we need to have a bill
  • Need someone to collect the bills/ make bills
  • We don't have to organise this with money. we always did it without
  • Need to put logo on promotion? But we don't have to put the logo on all promotion material. This is an EU-logo, might not attract all the people we would like. There is much opposition against using the logo of the EU
    • Later we found out: Not necessary to put logo on the public things. So you have to explain why you didn't do it. This program is not about the EU but about education and having more integration
  • Do we want to be affiliated to some kind of government institution? We are grass-roots. Are these two different things?
  • Money could be nice for promotion of the event
  • Donations
    • Mention it on a flyer for example

Conclusion for now

  • We will think about it and discuss it again Sunday
