==Welcome to the Ecotopedia - the wiki of the ecotopia biketour==
==Welcome==


The '''Ecotopia Biketour Wiki''' (a.k.a. ''Ecotopedia'') is a place to store information that is mostly relevant to the people ''involved in the preparation'' of the Biketour.


'''Roll up! Roll up! It’s the great Ecotopia Biketour 2008 extravaganza!
Any content that is relevant to participants or the general public, for example official announcements about the route, the Biketour values, information about what is needed to participate, should be on the website instead.
'''


In some cases, the Wiki is also used for collaborative documents (for example to coordinate who is bringing what), but for this it is probably better to use [https://pad.rankenste.in/ EtherPad] or [https://calc.rankenste.in/ EtherCalc], as those don't require registration.


'''Where?''' Bulgaria and Turkey (from Sofia to Sarikum)
Everyone can (currently) read any page in this Wiki, and everyone can edit any page, but needs to register for that.

'''What?''' The Ecotopia Biketour is a mobile community that appears for
==Our IT Tools==
several weeks each year in a different part of Europe and provides an
environmentally acceptable way to reach the Ecotopia gathering
(http://eyfa.org/ecotopia, http://www.ecotopiagathering.org/) or simply
to cycle in interesting places. Along the way we meet local groups
working on ecological or social issues and support their activities.

might be just the thing for you. Biketour is suitable for people of most
cycling abilities, and accommodation is usually in tents. Participants
are responsible for tasks such as preparing meals, washing up and since
we don’t have a support vehicle, we also carry our own equipment in bike
trailers. Participants pay a small participation fee graded according to
country of residence and are expected to take part in decision-making
during the tour.

*If you are interested in joining the biketour it is wise to check now if you should arrange a new passport (your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Turkey) and/or visa (can take up to 30 days to arrange). Informative websites to check about visa are: Ministery of Foreing Affairs Turkey: http://www.mfa.gov.tr/sub.en.mfa?cc4e437c-6769-4d79-9017-10b63c651224 Ministery of Foreign Affairs Bulgaria: http://www.mfa.bg/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4794&Itemid=243 Ministery of Foreign Affairs Serbia: http://www.mfa.gov.yu/Visas/VisasR.htm
*[[International Coordinator#fundraising|raise funds]]
Don't forget to check if you need visa (or passport, instead of id-card) for the countries you will pass on the trip to Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey if you travel by train/bus/car/ bike…  If you have any questions concerning Visa arrangements or if you need an invitationletter to get one, please send an email to yolanda (at) ecotopiabiketour.net

Welcome

The Ecotopia Biketour Wiki (a.k.a. Ecotopedia) is a place to store information that is mostly relevant to the people involved in the preparation of the Biketour.

Any content that is relevant to participants or the general public, for example official announcements about the route, the Biketour values, information about what is needed to participate, should be on the website instead.

In some cases, the Wiki is also used for collaborative documents (for example to coordinate who is bringing what), but for this it is probably better to use EtherPad or EtherCalc, as those don't require registration.

Everyone can (currently) read any page in this Wiki, and everyone can edit any page, but needs to register for that.
