Trying to answer everything, & changing subject lines:
On the weekend proper, volunteers please check in at the Maker
check-in booth, as explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire#How…
On Friday, load-in info is here:
http://cdn.oreilly.com/make/makerfaire/ba09/MF09_BA_Maker_Manual.pdf
It says to come to gate CC; "security will issue a Temporary Vehicle
Entry Permit to all vehicles entering the grounds. This Entry Permit
will require your cellphone number to be listed."
That's all the info I have about it. Call me or Jon if you get stuck.
(will send numbers separately).
I did add the names of everyone who contacted me off list to the
volunteer list.
Also: can we please try to use the wiki as much as possible for
questions/answers? There are some volunteers who aren't on this list,
and I don't want to overly spam the people who are that aren't
involved :)
Thanks! See you all this weekend!

Hi everyone,
I wrote up a quick guide for Maker Faire volunteers & attendees and
posted it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire#Vol…
I'm also just about to update the to-bring list on that page for final
checking. Feel free to make additions/changes. I will also be mailing
my number to people who have signed up as volunteers so if you have
trouble getting in someone can come rescue you.
Can't wait to see you all there! It will be super fun.

Hi all,
I'm assembling the Maker Faire volunteer list. Reminder:
If your name is not on the meetup page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire
OR if you have only signed up with your wikiname and I do not know
your real name, PLEASE email me with your name ASAP if you have not
done so.
If you are signed up under Saturday or Sunday, but you think you might
come both days, please let me know that too so I can put you on the
"both days" list.
Also: we are short on Sunday volunteers, so please consider that if
you can come either day!
I plan to send out a message at the end of this weekend with tips on
getting to the Faire, etc.
-- Phoebe
Hi all,
We need to start seriously planning for Maker Faire, which is four short
weeks away. Please add your thoughts on cool things to bring to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire
I also added a section for volunteers -- if you want to help staff the
booth, please add your name!

OK, so here is where we are at:
* We have a limited amount of swag
* We have the vests (I have some, Ariel has some)
* We have some computers coming from the WMF offices, to be picked up
on the friday before (do those come with monitors? :) )
* plus a plethora of laptops
* Phoebe and Jon to set up on Friday; other volunteers?
* we are located next to Wikihow, so we can share people if necessary;
Chris Hadley (cc'd) is the contact for WikiHow
THINGS WE ARE WORKING ON:
* The pass situation -- both Jon and I have been pestering O'Reilly
people, but no answer yet.
THINGS WE STILL NEED:
* Some sort of sign/banner advertising our Wikimedia-ness (Jay, does
the office have any banners?)
* Ideas for visualizations to run on the computers
* Ideas for an "interactive" display (guess the picture? learn how to edit?)
* Ideas for a couple of big signs to hang -- I don't think we have
space for the projector and cloth this year -- so are there other big
poster ideas we could make up? A giant markup cheatsheet? Please send
your ideas ASAP and I'll get some posters made up.
* more folding chairs -- does anyone have some they can loan?
* what about info-en business cards like someone suggested?
* And we need. ... you to sign up if you're planning on volunteering
and haven't already:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire
Thanks!
Phoebe

We confirmed that it will be the same deal as last year -- we'll have
a volunteer list at the front gate in the special volunteer check-in.
So we need to put together a list of names of volunteers who will be
at the booth:
* Saturday and Sunday
* Saturday only
* Sunday only
Please send your name to me if you're not signed up on the page here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire#Vol…
And if you are only signed up with your wiki name, please email me
your real name so we can put you on the list!
thanks,
Phoebe
