General Helpers

Help Urgently Wanted!

This involves helping with stuffing swag bags, heavy lifting and moving various things from one place to another. Meeting for volunteers on Monday 29th June at 5:15pm.

See the sign-up list for "manual labour": the little jobs that would ideally be done by robots. The up-side of bag-stuffing is that it can be a social activity and help you meet some of the organisers.

Here are some general volunteers who should consider signing up for the tasks mentioned above:

• CiaránMooney

• GrahamManwell

• Tobias Brox

• MartinMeredith (available all but first Sunday)

• RichardTaylor (available on the Friday before the conference, Monday (late morning onwards) and the rest of the week (including Friday for tear down as required)

• NigelCohen

• WernerWiethege (arrive Saturday around noon, if there's any pre-tutorial lifting, stuffing, moving ...)

• TimCouper

• JonathanHartley

Tech Team

Help Wanted!

This involves sorting out transporting kit, mostly power and network cables, from Clockwork Systems offices down to the Conservatoire on Sunday and then setting it up for the tutorials there, in the Library rooms and at the CBSO. During the tutorials it will probably be necessary to run in extra cables so that delegates have power. Extra wireless access points will almost certainly need to be installed at the CBSO.

Additionally the odd attendee may need help with getting their wireless working, and overseas delegates may want a continental type power strip or UK adapter.

There will need to be an extra push on Tuesday morning to get power into the various meeting rooms.

We often make a trip out to buy more stuff...

We then need volunteers to provide cover during the conference, helping delegates with any connectivity and power issues they may have. Additionally the wireless network will need to be monitored.

Finally at the end of the Conference all the cables will need to be pulled, packed away and transported back to the Linux Emporium offices.

Talk audio recording

Help Wanted!

This involves checking the equipment in each room is ok, every half day or so. A check consists of making sure audio recorders are on, changing batteries and copying data to a lappy. Anyone who can volunteer for a single day or a single room would help a lot. Thanks!

• CiaránMooney (grand pooh-bah recorder maximus)

• ChristopherSwift - Glad to check all recording equipment

• MartinMeredith (available all but first Sunday)

• AndrewGodwin (can change batteries like a pro...)

Talk audio editing

Help Wanted!

After the conference, from the comfort of your own home, we'd really appreciate anyone who wants to lend a hand editing the talk recording audio files (cutting off rubbish at the start and end) and upload them to the EP website. Anyone who can use something like Audacity (an audio file editor) could help out here. Doing just a few files would help, so don't be intimidated.

There is a post-conference Audio Editing sprint planned (headed by Ciarán Mooney). This is planned as an informal event, but it would be nice to know there are going to be others there. Please sign up at the Sprints page. There is no obligation to attend though!

• CiaránMooney (senior audio geek)

• JonathanHartley (eager dogsbody)
