This feels like a strange question to ask. Aren't you asking specifically who the conference organizers were and how many of them were volunteers? I think https://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/Organizing_Team answers this question.
Indeed, thank you! (Firefox has an annoying habit of dropping the protocol when copying and pasting URLs and I now have "https://" in my muscle memory.)

I loved the venue. I thought it was spacious and pretty and in a decent area of town and the wifi seemed to be stable and fast for me.
I also really liked having open space scheduled concurrently with all of the speaking sessions. This is something I think we should encourage at every editathon or hackathon or meetup. Having presentations and keynotes and whatever else is nice and all, but people at all types of meetups should also have the ability to meet up. It's difficult to do that when you're in a room where you can't speak. :-) The dedicated open space provided a really nice solution to this, in my opinion.
