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

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.

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!

I just signed up on the meetup page, I can help Friday pm and either (or in extremis both) Sat and Sun afternoons).
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!
We found two banners in the office. They're fairly large and I have no idea how they would work out in the Maker Faire space but we can bring/send them.
