Tutorial Host Volunteers
by Douglas Napoleone 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

All, Sorry about the massive confusion this morning. Nothing ever runs perfect. Tutorial hosts should see Marry at Registration for instructions and updates. The Green room has been moved from 212 to 206. This information is only useful if there is someone in 206, but at least you now know that much. -Doug

Tutorial Hosting Volunteers Meeting Place
by Rasha Hussein 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hey everyone, I am here at the convention center trying to figure out how to be helpful as a volunteer ( I am here only for the voluntary work, I didn't really register for the tutorials) and there's nobody at the meeting room. Anybody knows where should we meet? Or what I should do? Thanks -- Rasha Hussein <http://www.linkedin.com/in/rashahussein> <https://www.facebook.com/rasha.awesome> <https://twitter.com/RashaRasem> <https://plus.google.com/116940025959918303167/posts> <http://www.youtube.com/user/RashaRasem/videos>

Greetings Volunteers!
by Douglas Napoleone 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

*Welcome Volunteers!* Thank you, all, who've stepped up to volunteer - you are the foundation of the PyCon community! There is a speaker and volunteer orientation, Thursday evening, at 8:00pm, after the swag bag stuffing party, in the Green Room. If you are unable to attend the meeting, that is fine. Instead please stop by the Green Room, preferably in the morning between 7:00am and 9:00am. The Green Room is located in the 212 meeting room on the second floor above registration. Small deeds can make a big difference. The Lunch room has changed for Wednesday and Thursday , and all the signs and print materials are wrong. We'll need some help directing people for lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. <1hr. You will not miss lunch yourself. Signup: http://goo.gl/V1Ilr We still have 15 open Session Staff positions for both runners and chairs. If you have not, please considersigning up for one of the remaining slots. While you're at it, grab some Tutorial Host slots too - same deal: direct people to get to the right rooms on time. Short; easy; helpful. Here are low commitment needs we have: - WED-SAT: Registration desk (an hour or two at the peak times can really make a difference); - http://goo.gl/y5cXA - WED-THU: Tutorial greeters - help get people to their tutorials; <1hr - WED-THU: Lunch Hosts (direct people); <1hr - http://goo.gl/V1Ilr - THU 4-8pm: SWAG - *Stuff 10 Bags!* (~1/2 hr; but can be fun, addictive!); -* just show up!* Links to information and signups are at http://us.pycon.org/2013/about/volunteers Check current needs at http://goo.gl/P3CAm Don't take on too much - what you do helps and is enough! Remember to encourage others to volunteer. My first PyCon someone tossed me a volunteer shirt: "I'm not a volunteer." "You are now!" A half-hour or hour of time isn't much, and it's a great way to meet people you might not otherwise meet. Remember to have lots of fun. Don't forget to check "events" on guidebook (guidebook.com). See you in Santa Clara! -- Regards, - Yarko PyCon 2013 Volunteer Coordinator

by Douglas Napoleone 13 Mar '13

All, Due to another conference in the Santa Clara convention center, the Registration Desk needs to be moved to out side Mission City just for Tuesday. We are printing up small signs, but we will also need some volunteers in the main lobby area looking for confused people whom find them selves at a different conference than the one they were expecting :-) For those helping out Tuesday (today), please check into the 200 offices (211) to get the latest information. -Doug
