Video<\/strong> \u2013 we always need volunteers to act as camera operators at WordCamp, ideally you have your own equipment and video recording experience. Good gig, since you can watch sessions at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Registration<\/strong> \u2013 Check in registered attendees and hand out nametags. Being really awesome with alphabetical order helps here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happiness Bar<\/strong> \u2013 Answer questions and help WordPress users fix problems with their sites. Must be able to show level of expertise to be selected for this gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Printing<\/strong> \u2013 Feel like donating some paper and printer ink to the cause? Print up some programs and associated materials on plain white paper from your business or home office and drop them off at the venue during the prep day. An eye for detail is helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Food\/Beverage<\/strong> \u2013 This is already taken of for the most part, but it would be helpful to have a few people keeping an eye on things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Green Room Guards<\/strong> \u2013 Having a safe place for speakers and volunteers to leave their stuff while they run around is important. We need people to stay in these rooms (maybe an hour or two at a time?) to guard everyone\u2019s stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emcees<\/strong> \u2013 Introduce speakers\/sessions and keep things running on time. Keep an eye on the clock and give speakers a heads up when they are down to 10 and 5 minutes, and let them know when their time is up. Brevity and wit a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Room Runners<\/strong> \u2013 Work with the emcees, video people, speakers, and everyone else working in the room to keep things running smoothly. Make sure there\u2019s water for speakers, and provide support as needed for other event staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Casual Runners<\/strong> \u2013 Unexpected things always happen at events. It\u2019s good to have a handful of people on hand to help take care of whatever crops up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children’s services<\/strong> – we would like to have day care\/creche facilities for attendees with children. Previous experience and references essential<\/p>\n\n\n\n Miscellaneous Prep<\/strong> \u2013 Random helping here and there that doesn\u2019t have a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volunteers will get a free ticket to attend both days of WordCamp Cape Town (which includes swag) and the after party, as well as being invited to the volunteer dinner we hold before WordCamp itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WordCamp Cape Town is taking place on 26 & 27 September, but you don’t have to be there for both days. Simply indicate how much time you can make available when you apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this sounds like something you would like to be interested in, please fill in the Google Form below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PLEASE NOTE: The Call for Volunteers has been closed.
