Hi folks,
We're looking for extra hands to help
with he smooth running of this year's Wikimania, so I would be
extremely grateful if any of you would consider giving a few hours of
your time.
We will need volunteers to:
* staff the registration desk, especially on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, when we
expect to be at our busiest
* moderate/invigilate sessions
* direct attendees around the venue, and between the venue and other points (eg tube
stations and hotels)
* staff the information desk, assisting attendees with queries
* help with streaming/recording sessions.
That's a non-exhaustive list, but if
any of those roles appeal to you, or if you're interested in helping
in another capacity, please complete the form at
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dzXSoAnHF6StkBA2mKIklse6gZA6Uw-EIT2egTLC3e… or
email me with any questions at harry(a)wikimanialondon.org.
Being an editor is not a prerequisite, so please do share this with
anyone else you think might be interested.
For those of you in or around London
(which I appreciate is a minority on this list), we are holding
informal social events for volunteers in the weeks running up to
Wikimania so that volunteers can get to know each other and get to
know the the team, and these will be a great opportunity to learn
more about Wikimania and get involved. These are scheduled for Sunday
evenings: 22 June, 6 July, and 20 July (18:00-20:00); if there is
significant demand, we may consider scheduling further events. If
you'd like to come to any of these events, please let me know by
email (harry(a)wikimanialondon.org)
or sign up on the wiki at

Any questions, please don't hesitate to
get in touch.
Thanks,
Harry Mitchell
