[Pycon-volunteers] Greetings Volunteers!

[Joel Garza]

I signed up for tutorial host, placing my slots based on the tutorial I would probably register for. I am waiting to see if some personal funds free up on Monday to know whether I can register or not. Knowing that, when is the deadline for the $150 tutorial price, please? Would that be Wednesday?

>> 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!
