The best bet is to work here. If people are prepared to volunteer and can't figure out here what there is to do, then that's a problem. There is a guadec-local list also which is for local-language communication. For information, there's lots of stuff that needs doing - in addition to keynotes (see elsewhere) we also need someone to take responsibility for accommodation options, and I am sure that there are social occasions to organise or co-ordinate during the week, and perhaps there are some special needs like a football pitch for a football match, or designing an ad for a local magazine, or...? Is there a list of stuff to do which has been made, and which has names alongside items? We seem to be OK for sponsorship, the site, and for the content (apart from someone co-ordinating keynotes...) but for all of the detail work we seem to be behind (and, frankly, lacking a half dozen active local volunteers to help Sanne & Koen understand the culture & expectations of the GNOME organising team). For the example of accommodation, here's the suggestion I sent to guadec-planning back in January: > You'll also need to get suggested accommodation options sorted soon - > early March would be ideal, around the time people start planning their > trip.

So we're already behind that schedule...
