I will do my best to see if a display for the space can be created -
but there are no banners that I'm aware of here in the office. I've
been looking at, but not had the time, to create a nice pop up banner
with the Wikipedia and/or Wikimedia logo. But I might try to address
that in the next few days if I have time.
Right now our intern Deniz is putting together a box of all the
available stickers/etc we have to offer for the event - which includes
the remaining Wikipedia vests. Once we have a sense of what's in
there we'll let you know Phoebe and make it available for pickup or
delivery.
Thanks!

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:

Per last year, will you have a list of the
volunteers names given
to the
front desk people so they can get in for free
with a lanyard?
This should be a pretty standard process. The organizers just
need to know
who is coming and who to give the lanyards to at
the 'volunteer
registration' booth way at the front of the event.
I'm willing to put together:
* 100 or so wiki pencils
* up to 500 wiki pins
* about 500 mini wiki stickers
* the wiki vests for your use
Not much more stock than that right now - we will do a big re-
order with our
new budget.
that means materials should be handed out in person rather than
scattered
out as a grab-all. You'd run out fast :(
I'm signed up for Saturday morning to help kick it off!

I'd love to prep some activity visualizations to run in the
background but
I'll be out of town for the event so will
need a volunteer proxy
to make
sure there's hardware to run em on. :)
