May 28, 2016

Hi I'm an enthusiastic novice programmer who is attending his first pycon. In the interests of immersing myself and getting the most out of the conference, I've signed up to work as a volunteer. I work in a customer facing job day to day and like helping people, so I signed up for the Welcome to Pycon! Desk on Sunday the 29th.

Hi, I've volunteered to help setup the swag bag stuffing area on Sunday morning at 11am, but need to leave at 11:30am to meet someone for a quick lunch meeting before my afternoon tutorial begins shortly after 1pm that day. Will that be a problem at all?

Hi There, As the subject states I'm not registered for PyCon this year but I'm around and between jobs at the moment. I thought I'd check if you need any last minute volunteer help since I've got the time and as the python community has always been great to me. Cheers, Hassan

May 24, 2016

Hello, my name is Kate Davenport. My husband, Neil, is attending Pycon this year and I was interested in volunteering while he is enjoying the conference. I looked on your website and noticed that you still have slots open for registration and the like, but am not registered with the conference and saw that registration is closed. Is there any way I can add myself to registration and help out this year? I have helped volunteer with Pycon US since 2014 and was a volunteer with Pycon Australia … [View More]
