The big day is almost here and last I checked, after cleaning up our database, there is just one spot left. To think I thought a cap might not needed and that at most we'd get 50 or 60. Amazing!
Anyway, WE NEED HELP. As you know this is all run by volunteers and we will need more volunteers on the day, to do the following:
- Set-up on Friday night
- Watching the front door (it is a locked door) in 1-hour shifts all day
- Working the registration desk (check if registered, then give nametag) in 1-hour shifts all day
- Cleanup and tear-down Saturday evening.
All help greatly appreciated and very much needed. Please reply here to volunteer for anything, no matter if it's just and hour or two. It is all going to be a huge help. Be sure to tell me if your user name here matches your user name for DrupalCampPDX 2008. Also, please mention the areas you can help with (specify number/s) and for how many hours. Or alternatively, I can give you access to our volunteer Google doc (you may need a Google email) and you can fill in what you want to help with.

Volunteer Update
We need 1-2 people doing registration all day and they will be the same people to watch the front door. The front door will remained open until 10am, after that it needs to be locked all day for security reasons. So the people watching the front door and doing registration are really the same job.
Thanks

Able to get in after 10:00?
I'm registered, but I won't be able to be there until after 10:00. Will I still be able to get in?
Yes, people will be watching
Yes, people will be watching the door and a phone number will be posted.
Yes. To be clear, the door
Yes. To be clear, the door has to remain locked, but we will have a volunteer there to let folks in at all times. So you will be able to get in any time.

Friday Night Set up is from 5-7ish
The goal is to set up between 5-7pm, but however long it takes. The more people the quicker it will go.
Thanks

Shift
I can do a shift (whatever is needed) from 4-5 and can snap photos throughout the day although my camera is nothing special.

Thanks Don, We've added you
Thanks Don,
We've added you to the list. We have also set up a flickr account, so that anyone can upload pictures, which we are pulling into the Camp site via a feed.
Thanks also to those folks who could no longer make it and unregistered. All but one of their unregisters were taken up by those on the waiting list and we now have a single spot open again.

Pictures - Video
Could probably scrounge up one of those mp4-recording video cameras, for some quick posting of session content, if that is desired...
I'd say yes to video
I'd say yes. Any method of recording content will be appreciated by those present who want to review it later, and those not present would enjoy this.
