[Foss4g2009] Need volunteers for coordinator roles

[Jody Garnett]

I would also add that the demo theatre can use an extra volunteer :-)

I have previous experience with the Code Sprint (although frankly Paul Ramsey did most of it); and I can act as a backup if needed.  My intension is to get through the demo theatre prep before looking for more work.

Subject: [Foss4g2009] Need volunteers for coordinator roles

We are looking for people to coordinate some of the foss4g activities. 
See below ...

Early bird registration closed on Friday, and I'm expecting to find out 
how many people have registered from Arinex today.

The next phase is for us to get delegates to sign up for the less 
structured activities. So I propose:
1. I send out a press release to pontential sponsors around Wednesday 
this week, saying "lots of people registered, you should sponsor".  
Bruce and I have started here: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_25

2. Send a press release to delegates and attendees inviting them to sign 
up for the extra activities. We can send this ~ Wed - Friday.

3. Before sending the release out (over the next couple of days) we need:
a. At least one, and preferably two people to act as coordinators for  
the following activities. This involves being the point of contact for 
community  members to ask questions, coordinate wiki page and any 
resources required, and then to make sure everything runs smoothly at 
foss4g.

The list of activities:

    * Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest
      <http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome>
      (Raj from OGC)
    * Live DVD <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Live_DVD>
    * Code Sprint <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Code_Sprint>
    * Posters <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Posters>
    * InstallFest <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_InstallFest>
    * Birds of a Feather
      <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_BirdsOfAFeather>
    * Volunteers <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Volunteers>

(See links from: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009)

Most of these coordinating roles should have a light workload, but it 
does require a responsible person prepared to chase down issues as they 
arise.
