Hi all!

We're looking to make sure we have enough computers for people to sign in/register the night of Ignite, using the web form that Igal whipped up.

Like last time, I can bring a few laptops (3 + a UMPC). Aaron has said he has one to bring. That brings us to 4 (the UMPC is nice to watch the totals, but sucks for people actually registering).

Is there anyone else who would volunteer to let us use a laptop for registration? They'd be all together at the registration table, supervised the whole night by the registration squad (headed up by Ann Marcus). So I feel they'll be safe (enough so that I'm bringing 4 of my own).

I'm thinking we need 8 to help registration move quickly and smoothly. And I guess it doesn't have to be a laptop, either - anything with wifi and a keyboard would work (and no, I'll not be volunteering my iPhone. I need it to tweet during the event!= ;-)

Any takers? Respond to the list. Thanks in advance!

Last minute plea - we've got 6 systems coming for registration, but ideally we'd like a couple more. The crowd is going to be HUGE, and we want to keep it moving.

Does anyone have a laptop they can bring to be used at the registration table? All it needs is wifi and a keyboard (the registration app is a web page). Power will be available. We'll have volunteers watching over them at all times, so nothing should happen to them (I know this is a concern - 4 of them are mine ;-).

Please reply to the list or to me directly if you can help out. And thanks in advance! :-)

Josh:
 
I believe that at least one more laptop is coming in with Paul Biggs...he is coming on the bus and will arrive a bit after 4 but will be there in time for set-up. I will see if any others can bring a laptop.

screens I can allow use if interested.
