OK, so here is where we are at: * We have a limited amount of swag * We have the vests (I have some, Ariel has some) * We have some computers coming from the WMF offices, to be picked up on the friday before (do those come with monitors? :) ) * plus a plethora of laptops
* Phoebe and Jon to set up on Friday; other volunteers? * we are located next to Wikihow, so we can share people if necessary; Chris Hadley (cc'd) is the contact for WikiHow THINGS WE ARE WORKING ON: * The pass situation -- both Jon and I have been pestering O'Reilly people, but no answer yet. THINGS WE STILL NEED: * Some sort of sign/banner advertising our Wikimedia-ness (Jay, does the office have any banners?) * Ideas for visualizations to run on the computers * Ideas for an "interactive" display (guess the picture? learn how to edit?) * Ideas for a couple of big signs to hang -- I don't think we have space for the projector and cloth this year -- so are there other big poster ideas we could make up? A giant markup cheatsheet? Please send your ideas ASAP and I'll get some posters made up. * more folding chairs -- does anyone have some they can loan? * what about info-en business cards like someone suggested? * And we need. ... you to sign up if you're planning on volunteering and haven't already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire Thanks!
