Hi Bob, 

That's great to know you are joining us. 

I have added your name in the committee members wiki:

 Feel free to add what areas you are good at and want to work on. Currently we really need people to work on below areas :

•  Documentation
•  Website
•  Art
•  Marketing
•  Contact Sponsor
•  more...
  

We are planning to have our first IRC meeting in the beginning of June. I will send out a survey to find out a best time fit for most people. 

Thanks,

Hi all,

The GNOME Foundation has recently sent out a call for bids for hosting GUADEC 2012 [1]. We are also calling for volunteers to help with organizing GUADEC.  You can help regardless of where you might be located.

We would like to setup both a GUADEC event committee and also a local team of volunteers on the ground at the event location. It would be very much appreciated if people with experience hosting past GUADEC events could get involved and help make this event a success.

Even if the local team changes every GUADEC, there would be value having a core and stable event committee to ensure good planning going forward for GUADEC 2012 and future GUADEC events.
 
The GUADEC committee can help things on:

• Manage call for bids, including helping with review selection
  
• Build the website infrastructure including a registration system and use it for every GUADEC 
• Draft call for sponsorship, call for paper documents etc
  
• Share Sponsors' contact
  
• Have regular meetings (usually IRC) with the local team once the bid is chosen
  
• Focus on continually improving the process, including post-event reports.
• The event committee would help with international sponsorship opportunities while the local team would likely focus more on local sponsorship opportunities.
• Art design 
• Other

If you would like to help volunteer and organize GUADEC by being a part of a GNOME event committee, then please step us and let us know. We are open to any suggestions and discussion. We enourage you to use GUADEC-list [2] mail list and #guadec IRC channel at irc.us.gimp.org for more discussion.

Thanks,
Emily
