"office hours" tonight at 6 if anyone wants to talk, and updates!
Eric Skiff
- Sponsorship
- I believe we're in good shape at this point, with $2525 donated or pledged for in-kind purchases.
- Venue setup
- Eric & Giuseppe will meet Rachel Appel (She's from MS, helping Peter coordinate - hi Rachel :) ) at 5PM friday night to do some initial setup and prep. Anyone who wants to join us for this is more than welcome! ;)
- Saturday:
- Peter will arrive with food & supplies early - I'm planning to be there around 9:00 AM at the latest to help. Pete, will you need more helpers to load in food?
- We open the doors at 10:00 AM, but there are bound to be some early arrivers, so the earlier you can be there the better :)
- 10:30 AM is the kickoff in the big room, then people do the grid and run to the first talk at 11:00 AM (probably starting a few min late)
- After the last slot, people are welcome to hang out, chat, and talk till' 10PM
- At 10PM (or earlier if it's winding down), we herd the remaining folks over to the RSHotel (I've got a call into them to make sure it's okay, waiting to hear back)
- Currently, we're not planning to do the overnight
- Sunday
- we do it all again, starting at 11AM, closing up at 6ish
- Food?
- We'll have munchies, coffee etc thanks to Peter / Microsoft
- Providing meals is still a question mark - currently, we're don't really have the cash, and I think that's fine.
- There's plenty of food in the nearby area, but we should have details on the wiki of where to go.
- If late sponsors jump on-board maybe we'll do pizza lunch?
- Should we tack an extra 30 min onto lunch to allow time for people to run out?
- T-Shirts
- Guiseppe, you're bringing these by Friday eve, right?
- Badges
- Guiseppe is printing / bringing these
- Reimbursement
- Anyone who has spent money, please keep receipts (or better yet, scan / photograph them and email them to me) and I will get you reimbursed
- Attendance
- There are ~50 tickets left for sat and ~100 for sunday. I imagine another 50 will go for each day, so we should have a nice crowd without being totally slammed. I'll be very interested to see the no-show ratio with the late promo, since people haven't had much time to forget about the event.
- Volunteers
- Several people have spoken up and asked how they can help, so we will have a bunch of non-planner helpers.
- Volunteers are being coordinated here:
- I will send another email to attendees today, soliciting more volunteers and giving event info
- Anything I'm forgetting???

generally be herding people into the room and towards the grid, and
hanging around the halls to help where needed during the day. Anyone
who wants to be part of the kickoff announcements is welcome to :)
