[HacktionLab] Job Opportunities! Help needed with this year's HacktionLab

[Mike Harris]

Hi Everyone,

Following on from last Sunday's planning meeting, those of us that were
there found ourselves with roles and commitments for making this year's
HacktionLab, now known as BarnCamp 2010, happen. 

This was a great start, but we do need more help, more volunteers, more
to step forward and take on roles.

So it's my job, as the appointed overall production person, to send a
list of what we need to the list and ask that you kindly step forward to
offer your help.  I firmly believe having done the last two that between
a few of us and without too much work and commitment for each
individual, we can make for an excellent event this year.

Here are the roles we need, please email me directly if you're up for
taking one on:


PROMOTIONS - We need to get some literature out there promoting the
event ASAP.  We need to organise some call-outs.  So this could be an
online flyer and web page on the Wiki with a call to action and then a
strategy for promoting the gathering, emailing out to various groups. 
This is pretty urgent and you'd need to get on the case right away.


BOOKING FORM & PAYMENT SYSTEM PROGRAMMER - Another urgent one.  We need
an on-line booking form (ideally up at hacktivista.net) written in
something you like to write stuff in backed with a mySQL database.  
You'd also need to consider what to do about getting payments in. 
There's a loose spec for this already.


KIDS - As mentioned in the minutes, none of us at the meeting we
intending to bring any kids with us.  But, obviously some people may
want or need to bring theirs.  We may need a coordinator for this.


ENTERTAINMENT - Fancy helping to organise ents for the Saturday night? 
We have some sound system, mics and audio kit already, but we need
someone to make sure we have what we need and to book up a roster for
the evening and run the stage.


REGISTRATION/MEET AND GREET - for during the event, organising and
running a registration desk/space from Friday afternoon onwards.  You'll
get a list of bookings, be able to point people in the various right
directions, show them what's what.  On top of this, you might like to
consider producing a map (online and/or offline) for people to use and
also you ought to organise people to have the 'bat phone' that people
can call if they get lost or need a pick up from Chepstow.  You'll also
need to co-ordinate someone to stand by with a vehicle should some
people need picking up.


Also, for all the other roles that have people allocated to them, we
also need help, so if you're interested in helping with the Kitchen,
Site, Workshops, Facilities, Bar, Production or anything else, please
would you email me.  Thanks.

As I said, with this greater degree of prior coordination, it's looking
like it's going to be a cracking weekend this year.

Cheers,

Mike.
