green room staff needs?
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.

Hi Rami, Added our newest co-chair Markus to this thread as well. Markus- Rami is the overall volunteer coordinator. In past years we've had 3 slots work out nicely for us, with the caveat that generally coverage for the third slot can be spotty and that's ok. This year since we have 3 co-chairs we should be fine even if we can't fill column 3. Green room description could read: Green room staff help the Session Staff Chairs coordinate keeping the talks
on schedule. They check in volunteers & speakers, keep an eye on the clock, use a walkie-talkie, and reassure speakers before their talk.
One other note while you're changing the page/spreadsheet - could you change the description for the Session runner job to: A Session Runner accompanies the speaker from the Speakers Lounge to the
appropriate stage. They help in any way needed to make the session run smoothly. No running required.
I noticed that we have a lot more session chairs than runners so I am hoping a more accesible description could help with that. Thanks for checking in, Julia El lun., 23 de abril de 2018 10:45 a. m., Rami Chowdhury < rami.chowdhury@gmail.com> escribió:
