GUADEC 2014 - CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

GUADEC 2014, the fifteenth edition, will be in Strasbourg, France and takes place on 2014-07-26 to 2014-08-01.

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. A community conference like GUADEC only happens when the community puts its weight behind it.

As a volunteer at the conference, you may enjoy special benefits such as a free and limited edition volunteer t-shirts.

Add yourself into the timetables at the times when you want to volunteer. You should try to turn up 5 minutes early whenever possible. If you are not able to make your slot, please inform one of the volunteer coordinators.

How to sign up

Volunteers Roles

For most tasks, you don't necessarily have to know everything, you just have to know who knows. Local persons will be helping volunteers.

  • Session chair: the session chair sits in one of the rooms where talks happen. They introduce speakers, keep track of time, hand over the microphone to attendees asking questions…
  • Info desk: people at the info desk will sit near the entrance of the event, handle registration, hand over tshirts to attendees, and will be asked random questions by attendees (but local people will be here to help answering these questions!). This is a great way of meeting lots of people.
  • Evening events: distributing tickets, checking at the entrance that people have a badge, moving tables and chairs.
  • Runner: this involves "running" (walking, cycling…) to go fetch things or people (go buy $something in the closest store, go bring new batteries in room A, find $someone who is not answering his cellphone…)
  • Sport: bringing the balls, bibs and bottles of water from the storage to the court, keeping score…

Volunteers List

Please try to keep it sorted alphabetically by last name. Shivani is the volunteer coordinator.
