Good question and I'm not sure. I have asked Alexandra how she did last year. > Does the team need help > with anything from volunteers ?

There was a similar concept for the Desktop > Summit [1], and I liked how it became better organized. There are tasks to be done before the event and tasks during the event. Registration and distribution of badges + infodesk is a must. Someone paid should do the bulk of the work but then volunteers can be included doing shifts in the infodesk. (although I dream of a 225 people event where IRC or SMS plus the host reception is enough to handle the non-peak hours) The tasks during the event are mostly related to the rooms and sessions, and this is where volunteers make a big difference: making sure everything works, water in place, time kept, microphones... Another possible area is extending what the core organization will offer. For instance, maybe we can afford having good video recording and streaming for the main room, but maybe volunteers want to make sure specific sessions or rooms are additionally covered as well with recording, no streaming. A lot more can be done with each session e.g. taking notes (wik, etherpad), plugging a Google+ hangout, connecting with IRC, tweeting... Some help is also needed right before & right after the event with signaling, etc. We will know better about this when the host defines the work they will do. Overall technical support falls also inn this category. I expect to have dedicated people for the critical areas: preparations before the event, technical setup & support & catering. > [1] http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/ds-volunteers/2011-July/000014.html Heh, I know some of those volunteers and actually someone had recommended me Gil Forcada, who happens to live now in Berlin. -- Quim _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
