In my experience this kind of public call for volunteers, combined with 
a threat, is not an effective strategy.

How about if the board (or the mentors) got together, and put together a 
short-list of 3 or 4 potential organizers, and ask them individually? It 
would be a disaster (and rather ridiculous) if GNOME did not take part.

Cheers,
Dave.
