Help manage preconference sessions, setting up projectors, etc.

* John Sarnowski (at ResCarta)
* Whitni Watkins (at NimbleLibrarian)
* Christina Harlow (at cm_harlow)
* Eric Frierson (at frierson)

== Welcome Wagon Committee ==

Offers conference newcomers an opportunity to self-identify; offers oldtimers an opportunity to meet newcomers. May also want to constitute a year-round variation for #code4lib.

* Becky Yoose (b.yoose at google)

== Social Networking ==
Responsible for non-IRC social networking presence.

1-2 person(s) to take questions for sessions (assuming there's time during the session) via Twitter/IRC, and adding resources to lanyrd schedule (slides, notes, resources mentioned, etc.) Make a note if you can only do one or both.

Consider directing people with questions to presenter on twitter/IRC (if applicable) if there is no time for questions.

*Whitni Watkins (at NimbleLibrarian)
* Christina Harlow (at cm_harlow)

== Beverage Share Setup/Teardown ==

Help set up and clean up after the Tuesday event at the Ebay offices.

We need volunteers to let attendees and/or the OLCC in through the doors and direct them upstairs throughout the event.

* - 7:30-8:00 Door
* - 8:00-8:30 Door
* - 8:30-9:00 Door
* - 9:00-9:30 Door
* - 9:30-10:00 Door

== IRC Helpers ==
Demonstrate how to get onto #code4lib during Registration. Offer support for newcomers in #code4lib during the conference.

* Chad Nelson (bibliotechy)
* Mx Matienzo (anarchivist; as needed)

One of the easiest ways to participate is to go to [http://webchat.freenode.net/ Freenode Webchat] with your web browser. Choose a nickname (anything works so long as it is unique; if you want to be anonymous pick appropriately). Enter "#code4lib" as the "Channel".

If you've managed to get into the channel without help, type "@helpers" (without the quotes) to see a list of #code4lib helpers.

== IRC Access ==
Look into technology/procedures to make connecting to, and maintaining a connection to, IRC less painful. i.e. make sure wifi will allow connection, and someone needs to contact freenode about the sudden influx of people

* Mx Matienzo (anarchivist)

==Registration Desk Volunteers==

'''Monday'''
* John Sarnowski (at ResCarta)
* Whitni Watkins (at NimbleLibrarian) -- if we only need one desk volunteer, let me know.
'''Tuesday'''
* Christina Harlow (at cm_harlow)
'''Wednesday'''
* Christina Harlow (at cm_harlow)
* Bobbi Fox

==Video Streaming==
We need two volunteers for each session, one at the front near the speaker and one at the rear at the camera/encoder.
We will have a brief training on Monday Afternoon. If you can't make the training, we will perform magic knowledge transfer.
This is not a highly technical position, if you can recognize a video camera two times out of three, you're in.

You are welcome to work multiple sessions, or all of them. This will get you really good karma and many free drinks.

'''Video Team will meet in the ballroom on Tuesday morning at 8 AM'''

* Steven Anderson (at scande3)

== Session Timer Volunteers ==
