The basic info is at
https://us.pycon.org/2013/about/volunteers/sessionstaff/

You need to there for Brandon Rhodes 20 minutes prior;   If you show up an
extra 15-20 minutes earlier  (10:15), Doug or I will get you setup with a
radio, and what you need to know / do.

Thanks, and have a good flight!
