[HacktionLab] Fwd: [Hacktionlab-announce] Only 2 days left to save BarnCamp2019 - ACT NOW

[mark]

Hi Hacktionlab,

Just over a week ago, we wrote to say that we needed to get a move on
with our organising, if BarnCamp 2019 was to stand a chance of going ahead.

Since then we've also been in touch with lots of people individually to
ask for help. We'd like to say thanks very much to those few who have
volunteered, but sadly we're still nowhere near the level of volunteer
commitment that we would need for the event to work. Even if we simplify
and cut-back on some things, there are still lots of essential tasks
that don't have enough people signed up to them.

So, we've decided to give us all one last chance to volunteer. It's a
participatory event, and that means you need to figure out how you will
be contributing if you want the event to go ahead, and let the rest of
the group know.

The page where you sign up to tasks is on our wiki here:
https://hacktionlab.org/2019_Tasks

If you don't have a wiki account, ask mark at aktivix.org or
naomi at aktivix.org to create one for you.

The weakest areas at the moment, which could really do with more
person-power, are:

 - liaising with the farm
 - sourcing & bringing equipment
 - arranging night-time entertainment

Remember if you're writing someone else's name down in a group that they
need to have given their permission, and contact details to other people
in the group.

We've set a deadline of lunchtime on Wednesday 24th April. We'll then
re-assess whether BarnCamp can go ahead, even in a reduced form. If we
still haven't seen enough viable working groups form, we'll call it off.

I hope we don't have to...

Cheers,
Mark and Naomi
