Barcamp Bangkok 4 is confirmed for Sat/Sun October 23-24. We have 10
weeks to organize it--which is plenty of time if people are organized
and efficient.
We have a great reputation, a n awesome venue, we should have a many
sponsors and a decent budget, the only thing that can make Barcamp
fail is if we, the organizers fail to get shit done.
Please forward this email to anybody that you think would be
interested in helping organize Barcamp and encourage them to sign up
for this mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/barcamp-thailand/
and join the conversation in IRC chatroom #barcamp-thailand on
Freenode.net.
Objectives for Meeting:
1) Find people to manage key aspects of Barcamp Bangkok 4. We need
self-starters who are willing to commit to delivering results. I
would like to see more Thai people involved in organizing Barcamp, so
let's actively recruit people!
Key organizers:
- CFO (Chief Food Officer): Organize catering for all meals, snacks
and water for the barcamp.
- CPO (Chief Party Officer): Organize a party for Saturday night at a
cool venue near Sripatum. We will have a party sponsor. Responsible
for finding a beer sponsor so we can get more beer for our party
budget!
- CRO (Chief Registration Officer): Organize registration process
that will include distributing name tags / lanyards, wifi logins, T-
shirts, etc. (You will have many volunteers to help on barcamp day.)
- CVO (Chief Venue Officer): Be single point-fo contact with Sripatum
staff to handle any requests we have for them. Coordinate with
Sripatum staff to make sure that facilities are set up according to
our needs, that networks, room and projectors are ready, liaison with
CFO to plan food deliveries, etc.
- CAO (Chief Agenda Officer): Make sure topic signs are printed and
ready, purchase all supplies for topics agendas, handle all topic
voting, agenda setting, copying of agendas, inputting agendas into
website so they can be accessed via mobile app. (You will have
volunteers to help.)
- CMO (Chief Marketing Officer): Create a marketing campaign to make
people aware of what Barcamp is and how to participate. Promote
Barcamp through social media and PR. You will probably require an
assistance from several people.
- CWO (Chief Website Officer): Handle upgrades to Barcamp website,
including profiles for all registered users, a mobile app so people
can check the day's agenda from laptop and mobile phones, possibly use
QR Codes to allow people to share contact info via QR codes on their
barcamp name badges.
- CGO (Chief Graphics Officer): All graphics for website, banners
that people can embed on their website to promote Barcamp, Banners for
Barcamp venue, "This Way" signs, printing of topic sheets and name
badges, lanyards for name badges, T-shirt design, coordinate T-shirt
printing, collect sponsor logos for T-shirts and Banners. You will
probably require an assistant or three.
- CSO (Chief Sponsorship Officer): Coordinate with sponsors to make
payments to vendors (caterer, party venue, T-shirt printer, banner
printer, name tag / lanyard provider, etc. We try not to collect
money from sponsors, we prefer they pay our vendors directly so we
don't have to touch much money. We already have many sponsors lined
up, I (John Berns) will work with you to introduce you to our
sponsors. You are not required to find new sponsors--only coordinate
payments on time.
- COO (Chief Overnight Officer): If we want to have an overnight
session again, we need a person to coordinate all logistics for the
overnight stay, inform people about the overnight option, what to
bring, coordinate with CFO to provide breakfast catering and late-
night snacks. Come up with fun, innovative events to hold such as
games, hackathons, whatever....
- Master of Ceremonies: Introduce speakers on the main stage during
registration, explain to people what barcamp is, what to expect, the
topic voting process, interview people about topics they are
presenting, basically get people excited about being there. Must be
Thai speaker. You can have people help you with this task.
CTO (Chief Time Officer, AKA "Time Lord"): Your job will be managing a
team of volunteers to provide in-room assistance for speakers; help
them set up laptop to work with projector, make sure they start on
time, give them 5, 2 and 1 minute warnings that they session timeslot
is ending, make sure they end at the prescribed time so the next
speaker can get set up and start on time.
- Did I miss anything?
If you are interested in any of the organizer positions above, you can
email me in advance at jberns -at- johnberns.com and ask more
questions.
All organizers will be given support in their efforts, you will have
access to assistants & volunteers as necessary. We are not working
alone, we are a team!
Once you accept the position, you will be asked to write up a brief
action plan that outlines the tasks you will perform, key delivery
dates you intend to achieve and any budget you will require--just so
everybody is clear on what the expectations of the position are.
2) Discuss how we can increase community involvement and other
activities we can hold in parallel with barcamp to make it more
interesting.
Get excited people! I think we can hold the BEST barcamp anyone has
ever held anywhere... let's do it!

How many meals/food things are we looking for this time around? We wanna plan for 700 or 1000 or how many people? Maybe I can have some food quotes prepared for the meeting.
Glad we got the dates moved to Oct 23 & 24 so people will have a break between the SG barcamp and ours. I know a lot of folks from Singapore & Malaysia wanna come.
