Hello all,
I would like to have 2-4 persons at the booth throughout the day on Saturday & Sunday. The Exhibition times are when volunteers are most needed, but virtually any assistance offered will not be refused; sparing even 30 minutes of your time would be great! Friday, Feb 21st is a setup day Noon - 6pm and I think I can handle it myself.
Here is the Expo schedule:
- Friday, Feb 21st
- Saturday, Feb 22nd
- Final Setup: 8am - 10am
- Exhibition: 10am - 6pm
- Sunday, Feb 23rd
- Exhibition: 10am - 5pm
- Tear Down: 5pm until finished (Likely less than 2 hours)
"Duties" of volunteers:
- Acknowledge & greet visitors at the booth.
- Hand out promotional materials provided by the GNOME project. Can roam the Exhibition floor doing so.
- Use the provided computer to answer questions visitors may have and perform demonstrations of GNOME and GTK+ apps.
Familiarity with GNOME 3 & Gnome-Shell as well as GTK+ applications would be highly beneficial.
Benefits to volunteers:
- Volunteers dedicating at least 2 hours (cumulative) will be provided a Coupon Code for a 100% discount on their Full Access Expo tickets. Come help out for part of the day and spend the rest checking out the Expo for free!
- First choice of free GNOME schwag such as T-Shirts & stickers (while supplies last).
- Persons who volunteer for at least half the time (4 hours cumulative) on Saturday and/or Sunday will be provided free lunch (most likely Pizza Hut).
- Free Power & WiFi access provided for your personal devices.
No guarantees on how good the Internet connection will be though. ;-)
