GUADEC 2012 - CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

GUADEC (pronounced GWAH-DECK) is an acronym for the GNOME Users' And Developers' European Conference. Held annually in cities around Europe, GUADEC is the largest gettogether of GNOME users, developers, foundation leaders, individuals, governments and businesses in the world. GNOME is the Free and open source software stack that drives the user interface of many Linux-based devices, from smartphones to your home pc.

GUADEC 2012, the 12+1th edition, will be in A Coruña, Spain and takes place on July 26 - August 01.

The organisation team calls you to arms! A community conference like GUADEC only happens when the community puts its weight behind it.

This is your chance to be part of this event. Whether you are a conference rookie or a seasoned GUADEC veteran, your help is much appreciated.

As a volunteer at the conference, you may enjoy special benefits such as a free and limited edition volunteer shirt or free registration during your volunteering days and so on.

How to sign up

If you are interested, please subscribe to the GUADEC mailing list and (important) include your registration nick, name and surname into the following table (please, in alphabetical order). Have a look below to find out what kind of help is needed.

UPDATE

We have set up a Wiki page with a HOWTO handle the camera recording in the different conference rooms. You can look it up at GUADEC/2012/Volunteers/CameraHowTo.

The registration desk and speaker desk form an important part of the conference organization. The former will handle communication with visitors before the conference, as well as registration at the start of the conference.

The later is an important link between speakers and the conferencet organization. The speaker desk will communicate with speakers, make sure speakers know where to be at what time and generally make sure the program of talks runs smoothly.

In addition, during the conference itself we will need a lot of hands for building up, monitoring the lecture rooms (heralding) and lots of other odd jobs.

So whatever your background, there is likely a job with your name on it!

What is GUADEC all about

The primary goals of GUADEC are:

  • to set the direction of the project in the coming year;
  • to attract developers and contributors to the project;
  • to help corporate partners be involved in the project;
  • to connect developers, corporate partners and governments;
  • and to showcase our latest technologies.

The week will be split into two phases: GUADEC itself; and After Hours. During these phases, the talks will be divided in different categories, focusing on the future of GNOME, the preview and demonstration of existing technologies, as well as brainstorming sessions with public administration and the industry.
