Hi folks,
So I think breaking this down is a really good idea and I am down for
doing the volunteer coordinator if we break it down and have one person
also in charge of the various sub-categories where we need volunteers. I
can take one of the sub-categories, as well as be in charge of the big
picture. I am also going to start trying to corral folks to volunteer in
the first place.
If there are not enough folks do to this, then there should be at least
two folks doing the volunteer coordination because it is the largest job
up there (at least I think it is, but perhaps I am mistaken).
Currently we need volunteers to do the following tasks, although I have
questions for many of them.
1. TalkMeister: Help coordinate talks (make sure they start/end on time,
make sure equipment works, though video team can help, and help with Q
and A).
* Past organizers: how was this handled in past debconfs?
2. Front Desk: Make sure that we have the Front Desked Manned and
Wommaned at all times. We might want to have locals always doing this as
they can give advice about NY stuff as well.
3. Cleaning: I am still not clear as to whether we will be spending so
much money on this that we won't need to do this or whether we will
indeed need a handful of folks to help tidy up 2x a day in the hacklab
annd lounges.
* Mr Beige: Can you update us on this?
4. Tee-Shirt Sales: Sell tee shirts.
* Past Organizers: how was this (successful) handled in the past? Did
you do this everyday? Most days? Part of the day?
5. Building access: As with the cleaning, I am not sure whether we will
need volunteers to take care of this or what this even entails.
* Mr Beinge: Can you update us on this?
We also need volunteers to stuff attendee bags but I am going to suggest
that a whole lot of us do that together while we chat about other things.
There were a few other categories but they are taken care of by other
teams (outreach, for example) or were collapsed into one.
