Things are a bit up in the air at the moment, but the day-to-day
practicalities of DebConf are pretty much the same as always. It would
help me enormously to briefly hear what folks are planning to work on in
the coming months. I'm not concerned about structure or teams or
whatever. Out of all the ordinary tasks we have to do every year, where
do you think you'll spend your time?
I'll start. I plan to work on:
- Fundraising
- Maybe content if we need the help
- On-site general assistance, wherever help is needed (pickup coffee and
printer paper? sure!)
Thanks for all the positivity, it makes my blackened little heart glow a
little :)
I was originally planning on spending a lot of time on website related
things over the next month, but it turns out we have plenty of people
competent people working on that already (which is great!), so for the
rest of December and part of January I'll give some focus on the wiki
and try to turn more of the redlinks around on
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16. It would be nice if some people
could step up and take responsibility for some subsections. Rhonda will
take care of Poetry Night, for example.
Besides that I've been contacting guest houses and expanding that to
more hotels:
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/Accomodation/External - will be
fleshing that out more as time goes by.
I'd like to help/organise a team for attendee support, which includes
things like helping/guiding them from the airport to their
accommodation, getting a sim card, etc, etc. I think Nigel mentioned
some interest in taking the trip from the airport to UCT a few times so
that we can put together a nice guide so maybe we can do that together.
Sorry that's probably too many details so in a nutshell I'm still
figuring it out but for now:
- Fleshing out the wiki (which is in itself a form of planning and
co-ordination)
- Contacting external accommodation and enquiring about internet / group
discount / family rooms
- Starting to plan ahead for attendee support
- Still happy to do anything web team needs, even if that turns out to
be bringing pizza and beer for a sprint
