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.
