[nycbug-talk] relevant fork: NYCBSDCon volunteers. . .

[George Rosamond]

There's a number of areas in which we need volunteers for the 
conference.  Some of this was discussed at the last NYCBUG meeting.

1.  If you are on a campus, around some computer store or some coffee 
shop, download, print and post the flier.  Get the word out.

2.  The Friday Oct 10 social at Havanna Central we'll need some people 
to show up around 6 pm and make sure there's some critical mass for 
those arriving.  We'll have enough people later on, but lots of the 
out-of-town visitors may feel a bit confused in a Columbia-area bar 
early on a Friday night.

3.  Early Saturday 7:30 am, we will need a bunch of people to post the 
flier (to be updated with a campus map by Ike :) around. . . by the 1 
stop at 116th street. . . and all along the path to Davis Auditorium. 
And the security guards at 116th Street should be reminded about the 
conference, since they will inevitably be dealing with wandering 
con-attendees.

4.  As some people may remember, no food or drinks are allowed inside 
Davis Auditorium. . . help keep the place clean after the Saturday then 
the Sunday end sessions.  Having Columbia U for the con is an awesome 
privilege for us. . considering any hotel we looked at last year for 
"no-con" was many many times more expensive. . .

Please also pray, meditate, threaten TV weather commentators, whatever 
you can do to ensure that we don't have torrential winds and rain, Hamid 
Karzai (Afghan president) visiting, massive 7th avenue subway line 
repairs or other utter flukes happen years past.
