Hey folks, We had a pretty good weekend for volunteer sign-ups and are well over half way to being fully staffed! As we're getting pretty close to PyCon I'd like to ask folks to please send out a social media post this week focusing on one or two of the places we need help the most: - Session Staff -- https://us.pycon.org/2018/schedule/sessions/ (we have a lot more chairs than runners, and several sessions totally unstaffed) - Green Room -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Green-Room (the first half of Friday and early Saturday especially) - Registration -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Reg (Thursday & Friday afternoons, particularly) - Swag Handout -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Swag-Handout (the Friday morning rush still needs a lot of help) - Young Coders -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-YC (just a couple more volunteers) I have been posting about this, so please do RT / reshare (https://twitter.com/necaris/status/990980527543980034), but I don't have great reach on social media so definitely need the help! Thank you! Rami

Hi Monique, Yes, there are still slots available! I've included the volunteer team so they can let you know where you would be most needed. I do know they need folks to help with swag handout, sessions, and registration right now. You can sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ 1PJJtcLnS9KwjzgCg0TYdFo-nP2DwWcFP8G7M8i4LqV0/edit?ts=5ab41a84#gid=5 Best, Betsy On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 10:50 AM, Monique Blake <moniqueblake4(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Betsy, > > Didn't know if the website is updated or not with the current volunteer > information.

green room staff needs?
by Rami Chowdhury 23 Apr '18

Hey folks, Just checking in about the green room volunteers this year -- is http://bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-GreenRoom still an accurate count of how many you'll need? Can we put any more useful info on https://us.pycon.org/2018/about/volunteers/#green_room to get people excited about it? I'm just trying to get a handle on current priority to recruit more volunteers for each area, and since green room typically requires fewer but more involved / experienced staff, I wanted to check in to see what we could do.

signal boosting needed! volunteers needed!
by Rami Chowdhury 23 Apr '18

Hey folks! Less than a month before PyCon and we still need a lot of volunteer help! I'm going to start sharing different areas where we need help on social media daily, but could use a signal boost (retweet, reshare, etc)! Also if anyone feels inspired to tweet themselves it would be great, I don't have a huge social media reach so it'd probably go further! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PJJtcLnS9KwjzgCg0TYdFo-nP2DwWcFP8G7… is the summary page -- we really need folks to help with swag handout, sessions, and registration right now.
