skill profile and tasks of the community manager
Hi Arto:
While this mail is primily addressed to Arto, it might be
beneficial to have it in the archives, too. Others who have
additonal datapoints and oppinions are very welcome to join in.
In the past we had a workforce of 30+ helpers in Oslo with
coordinators for 2 bigger task forces (reception/information and
sleeping quarters guard). Those coordinators would
- find people to man the stations during all (necessary) times
(perferably well in advance; oslo had detailed time tables
where people could sign up),
- answer the questions the volunteers have, show them (==perform)
the necessary tasks,
- write up the FAQs for each job (e.g. for the information:
telefon numbers to the janitor, the taxi cab company, the code
to disarm the fire alarm...),
- know where your volunteers are (if conference attendees look
for one (we should use special colored tshirts for
volunteers),
- find something nice and motivating to give as a present to the
volunteers.
- explain the general goal the volunteers should have: make the
event a pleasent, save and smooth one for everyone (including
themself).
In Oslo there was a general meeting two days ahead of the start
of debcamp with general inforation (pep-talk and real info).
This is an incomplete list of tasks for volunteers:
- driving people (e.g. airport - HUT - airport)
- packing conference bags
- preparing name tags
- information desk
- registration desk
- carrying tables and chairs both before and after the conf
- cleaning out the dorm and smökki and auditoriums after the
event and recreating the original state
