Here is a link to the volunteer page - https://us.pycon.org/2018/about/volunteers/ Below are the areas we need help the most: - Session Staff -- https://us.pycon.org/2018/schedule/sessions/ (we have a lot more chairs than runners, and several sessions totally unstaffed) - Green Room -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Green-Room (the first half of Friday and early Saturday especially) - Registration -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Reg (Thursday & Friday afternoons, particularly) - Swag Handout -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-Swag-Handout (the Friday morning rush still needs a lot of help) - Young Coders -- bit.ly/PyCon2018-Volunteer-YC (just a couple more volunteers) Best, Betsy On Wed, May 2, 2018 at 11:05 AM, Matt Curcio wrote: > Greetings Betsy, > I am very interested in volunteering at PyCon 2018.

Message-ID: <1361a062-5253-acaa-c4ee-66b4c96a4301@gmail.com> Hey folks, Just a quick update on where we are staffing-wise. Especially after the "Important Information" reminder email went out to everybody, mentioning our need for volunteers, we are looking _much_ better on all fronts. We're at about 75% overall, and still need a bit of help on: - Session Staff: this is our biggest gap right now. There are still some unstaffed sessions, and we are still short some runners. - Green Room: we're still a bit short Friday morning and Sunday afternoon. - Registration Desk: looks pretty good overall, still with a bit of a shortfall on Thursday afternoon. - Swag Handout: almost there! A bit more help Friday afternoon wouldn't go amiss. We also need 1 (just one!) greeter for the Language Summit on Wednesday and 2 (just two!) participant timers for the 5K. I'm going to keep mentioning these on social media and hope y'all will pick them up with a retweet or two when you see them! Cheers, Rami
