Basics: SpaceShare orchestrates ride-, room- and taxi- sharing for festivals and conferences. We help people replace cars and resource-use with their community. We aim well beyond the normal green events, spreading the green message not by talking about it but by helping people enact it and benefit from greening, making new friends and stronger communities in the process.

=> the dream-components of our physical-rideboard are:

1. reasonably lightweight for transporting up
2. green construction
3. safe -- doesn't blow over in the wind and smack people in the head (we had one of those at Harmony a couple years ago...)
4. We leave before festivals are over. We've got a bit of a paradox: can't take home the rideboard before the last people have found their rides, can't leave it after we go...either:
1. take off the messages and leave them, returning with the expensive & artistic parts of the rideboard

Please...

• No more working on design aspects for designs that don't meet the goals. Read old notes carefully before diving in.
• No More using images that we're not going to really want on the site in the end.
• No more just showing up with new designs. Help narrow work that has already been done, or explain why you are going to make changes, and see if people agree with your ideas before spending time designing.

NEW BASIC DESIGN *WIREFRAME*

or

May 9-11, 2009, in Davis, CA.

Overall: One of our easiest juice sponsorships, very friendly crowd but not usually tons of booth traffic. The more volunteers the better since it's free. We can budget some for expenses. This event starts *very* slow on Friday. It would be good to have the booth in place, but this is the one festival where we don't need to be quite so worried about Friday set-up.

Leads: Alie (and Aaron), next to Seva, we hope.
Vehicle[s]: Alie and Aaron
Total tickets: unlimited

Request housing for volunteers -- are you local?:

Volunteer at Harmony.

June 12-14, 2009, in Santa Rosa.
4 tickets.
Overall: expect very busy festival (typically this is the highest juice sampling of the year) with juice sponsorship. We're near the front gate, so we need to be at our best near opening. It's a camping event. Tickets are expensive when camping and night events are added, if you'd like to volunteer pls. volunteer early so we can get enough tix.

Leads: Galit and Arthur (and possibly Alie)
Vehicle[s]:
Total tickets: 4 (we have a budget to buy more espec if earlybird for serious volunteers, speak up soon.)

We now recommend this Green Events Guide. The following sections are old notes (that a volunteer could one day clean up and make sure that they are all on the new site, then delete.)

1 -- Review and update our carpool directory
2 -- Contact other carpool orgs and talk about integration
3 -- Blog about the list, get the word out there.

Goal is to contact 1000 festivals that are candidates for next year.

-------------------

x - Purchase database of festivals.
[Stephen?] - Integrate that data with our database

-------------------

- Prep an email and have it link to a web page that gets improved

Jeff's editing notes (nov 08):

- cut out the first sub-title
- minor changes to the second paragraph, hoping its a bit easier to understand
- changed to green background in floating text box
