MeeGo Conference 2010/Volunteering

Revision as of 16:45, 9 November 2010

Your help is needed to make the MeeGo Conference 2010 a success! Please fill in your name for any of the 2 hour needed slots.

We need volunteers in the following roles:

Conference Setup/Cleanup

Setting up banners, installing wires, tables, chairs, ensuring that the conference hall is looking great for the early arrivals on Monday morning; and then packing everything up again on Wednesday evening. Lots of hands needed!

Info Desk

We need volunteers to take a couple of hours out of their conference to ensure that people know what's going on, give directions to newcomers, help co-ordinate with the conference staff when small issues arise.

Session Tech Support

Work with the conference center audio/visual staff, ensure that speakers are wired up with mics, that video is working, that presenters have the technical assistance they need (for example, if they need to play audio).

Speaker Assistants

Co-ordinate with speakers, organise a signal to let them know when they are running out of time, introduce them before their presentation, and handle audience questions on their behalf.

Live Stream IRC Moderators

Sit on IRC and ensure everything stays clean and on-topic. Be op for an hour! - Contact Stskeeps on IRC (#meego , irc.freenode.net) once signed up. If you have a mobile device with WiFi and a capable IRC client, that's all you need during the shift (and a watchful eye on the IRC channel)

Breakout Room Table

There is a room available for break-out sessions and BOFs, and we would like to ensure that people can schedule times for its use, to avoid different groups getting in each other's way. There will need to be people "manning" the schedule, and ensuring that when people arrive for a reserved session that they get priority.

Hacking Lounge

Some hackroom sessions may need helpers (I don't really understand what is involved here --Dneary 09:44, 9 November 2010 (UTC))

Other

You'd like to help, but don't want to do any of the tasks above, or can't decide? Add your name here, and we will put you to use somewhere!
