Interested in helping organizing, and in participating
+	-	+	-	Please indicate your personal goal for this Collective, (briefly) your skill set , and the dates you would be interested in coming. +	-	+	-	''Important Notice: Adding yourself to this list does not mean we confirm your participation - please get in touch with Dante CS first. +	-	'' +	-	+	-	+	-

Venue
+	-	There are at least 12 comfortable beds in one house (maybe the second is also free), which most likely will be for CS ( and HC ) admins, programmers , designers, ... (this needs to be discussed) but if you also consider the space available for those that do not mind sleeping on the floor, I guess it at least doubles - or more than doubles - the capacity - +	-	+	-	There are also special big rooms for meetings (Dojo) ... +	-	It's a relative big property that counts several houses. +	-	+	-	Some more pictures of the different houses of the property and the rooms (and two kitchens, bathrooms, etc) can be sent to you if you ask Dante. +	-	+	-

Location
+	-	This place is Cornelia´s and Hartwig's place, situated in the countryside, 10 minutes by car and about 45 minutes/1 hour walk from the centre of a small and pittoresque German city called Detmold (there is also a bus to get to the centre). +	-	+	-	Detmold itself is about 30 kilometers from a German city called Bielefeld. +	-	+	-	It is not difficult to hitchhike here, or for those that do not have time to hitchhike, do not have the money to take trains or buses, and do not live nearby, and have no issues with polluting big time by taking a plane, there are some cheap airline companies that fly to cities nearby. ( Ryanair, Easyjet , Wizzair , etc - to nearby cities such as Paderborn , Dortmund , ... ) +	-	+	-	If you plan to hitch hike, feel free to contact Dante CS HC for some hitch hiking tips to get to Detmold. +	-	+	-	Address: +	-

Organizational details
+	-	Mosebecke 1, where the July 2007 Detmold CSC will be held, is the residence of Cornelia and Hartwig Kopp. +	-	They are offering the place for free. And keep the right to set conditions if needed. +	-	+	-	Unless Couchsurfing decides to sponsor you personally, everyone pays hes/her own living costs , which include food and 1 euro per day per person for electricity and water. +	-	+	-	We expect hosting maximum 20 people at one time. (Note: what online planning tool will we use?) +	-	+	-	+	-	Dante CS thinks about a system where people that would ask and be confirmed as participant would only stay for a maximum of 2?/pre-negotiated? nights at Mosebecke, which can eventually be extended depending on the Collective Objectives Needs and the Planning of Future Residents. +	-	+	-	If more then the limit of people are interested in attending the Collective, Dante CS suggests to invite them to contact other CS people in the region and organize other mini collectives with the topics they want to focus on, so that when they have reached some of the results they wanted they can come to the Detmold Collective on a day visit ( or for one or two nights if there is space ) to present it and connect it with other projects. +	-	+	-	We can also meet up before the Detmold Collective, at for example the following camp in Berlin: +	-	+	-	http://www.happy-traveller.de/ +	-	+	-	or feel free to list some subject specific pre-collective meetings in europe you would be interested in setting up. +	-	+	-	The Detmold Collective could also be used as a hub within a network of mini Collectives, since Europe is a small place, with a dense transportation infrastructure. (It is possible to hitchhike anywhere within 1 day for neighboring countries, or two days to get anywhere in Europe - including Istanbul). +	-	+	-

Daily schedule
+	-

From Monday to Fridays
+	-	Wake up and breakfast time can't be planned, everyone has different preferences. +	-	+	-	+	-	+	-	+	-
 * lunch: 12:30
 * tea time: 16:00
 * At tea time everybody can tell what they are doing.

+	-	+	-	+	-
 * dinner: 19:00
 * From 19:00 till 08:00 we disconnect the internet so that people are forced to be social.

+	-
 * chmac: I feel this would contrast the principles of open space. I suggest we all agree a time at which we will stop work, but leave internet connected for personal use 24/7.

+	-	+	-

Saturdays and Sundays
+	-	Probably harder to maintain a schedule. +	-	+	-

Food
+	-	There are two kitchens at the Collective. We will keep one kitchen vegetarian. +	-	+	-	We won't buy any meat from the food budget( although it is most likely every person will cover its own food costs ). People are still free to eat meat (and prepare it in the non-veggy kitchen) if they want to buy it from their own money, or if it's donated. +	-	+	-
 * See also the Vegeterian Kitchen thread on the csc-detmold list.
