Greetings,
The 12th annual SeaGL (the Seattle GNU/Linux Conference) is just a week away! It will be held from 9am to 5pm on **Friday and Saturday**, November 8th and 9th.
We'll be _hybrid_ again this year, so folks are welcome to attend either online or in person. The in person event will be held at University of Washington's Husky Union Building (HUB). Details for attending, whether online or at the HUB, can be found on our website at https://seagl.org/attend
Per usual, SeaGL can be attended anonymously and at no cost; registration is not required, so please show up if your schedule allows. We have an [amazing program] this year, including 4 keynotes and 45 sessions, along with social events such as TeaGL and Presentation Roulette.
As a reminder, everyone involved with SeaGL is required to follow our [Code of Conduct], and in-person attendees must follow our [Health and Safety Policy]. We will have masks freely available at the event in support of this, but encourage attendees to bring their own.
Also per usual, we are looking for volunteers to help make the event a success. Here are some of the positions we're looking for assistance with:
- **Room Monitors:** introduce speakers (with their permission), perform room head counts, make sure speakers have everything they need, and ensure sessions run smoothly and finish on time.
- **Sign-Wranglers:** post up and take down signs, in and around the venue.
- **Refreshment Aides:** help with the set up, tear down, and clean up of coffee and tea breaks.
- **Information Attendants:** register attendees (if they want), check-in speakers and exhibitors, hand out programs, and provide directions and answers to questions.
- **Virtual Hosts:** keep an eye on the Matrix channels, identify content in need of moderation, and reach out to in-person staff as needed.
You can sign up to help in-person or virtually through this [volunteer form], or you can get in touch with us via [Matrix or email].
Moving on, we'd be remiss if we didn't thank [our sponsors] - it simply wouldn't be possible to put on the event without them. (Though we could certainly always use more, so if you know a person or company who would be interested in sponsoring, please forward them our [sponsor prospectus].)
Finally, if you'd like, please spread the word about SeaGL. We are on [Mastodon] and other [less-open] [social] [networks], and have been making use of the hashtag `#SeaGL2024`.
I can't emphasize enough how excited the organizing team is to see you all again. The entire volunteer staff has worked incredibly hard to make this year's SeaGL an awesome event, both online and in person, and you - our community - are what make it all worthwhile. We hope you'll consider joining us next Friday and Saturday!
