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.
==Philosophy==
[[Image:789_planning.JPG|thumb|150px|left|[[789]] planning written on the back of a hitchhiking sign]] At the pre-meeting 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.We need to pick a place where most many people can come visa-free without visas and where we have a local organizer.
Please feel free to add your ideas and help organizing the 2nd hitchhiking European week.
==Where==

I put that one for the moment, some destination informations like in Kamecica doesn't appear. [[User:Terrehappy|MiSha]] 17:32, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
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 where Shengen Schengen Zone Europeans, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Bielorussians, Russians and Turks can come together. 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.Any location within the [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/SchengenAgreement_map.svg Shengen Schengen space] will make it close to impossible for the non-Shengen Schengen people to join. Plus the price of life will be affordable for almost everyone.

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]
***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 ;)
