Hi folks,

As I hope you all know, Wikimania this year is in the Barbican Centre in London, running from 8 to 10 August (with other activities from 6 August). We're looking for extra hands to help with he smooth running of the conference, and I would be extremely grateful if any of you would consider giving a few hours of your time.

We will need volunteers to:

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-EIT2egTLC3ew/viewform or email me with any questions at harry@wikimanialondon.org. Wikimedia experience is not a prerequisite, so please do feel free to share this with anybody else you think may be interested (other Wikimedia mailing lists, other communities you may be involved with, etc).

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, especially for those based in and around London. 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@wikimanialondon.org) or sign up on the wiki at https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_drinks.

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

Thanks,
