There is not much to do once the thing really runs that requires anyone to be glued to the reception. Provided of course the team is reachable either via mobile or via IRC/IM. >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... I didn't do a thing about that last year, people pretty much organized themselves. Who would have thought! ;) [..] >A lot more can be done with each session e.g. taking notes (wik, >etherpad), plugging a Google+ hangout, connecting with IRC, tweeting... I like these ideas. In that sense the outcome last year was not ideal. >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. You will certainly need help to set up and take down stuff. Even if it's only banners, it's still work and much less annoying if you're a bunch of people rather than one person.
