If you're not in training and you've never been to a hackathon, all you need to do is show up and volunteer. There will be plenty of projects in need of help and people to show you how you can. How to get there: You can find all of the points of interest for YAPC in this handy dandy google map: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/map.html. You want to go to the Thompson Conference Center tomorrow. A close up can be seen here: http://goo.gl/maps/tPSF6. Note that parking is in lot 40 not lot 39. Parking is free. How to get your WiFi fix: The SSID is ?attwifi?. You?ll use the coupon code that?s on your badge. This will be provided tomorrow if you attend an official event. The Arrival Dinner: Hula Hut is out of seating. If you didn?t manage to get a spot, we encourage you to join the Anti-Arrival Dinner or form your own social gathering. See you soon, YAPC NA Admin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We're looking for some volunteers to help out with the conference. YAPC is a community conference, more than just about every other tech conference today. It is through community involvement that we have a conference at all. It is in this spirit of community and camaraderie that we come to you today to ask for volunteers. If you've ever wanted to help run a YAPC but didn't want to have to take care of everything, or didn't want all the responsibility involved (and there is a lot of it), now's your chance. If you've wanted to help out in some small way but weren't sure where to start, this is your chance! What follows is a list of things that just about anyone can do. Please feel free to respond with any interest you have in helping out. We thank you for helping to make this YAPC amazing. * We need people to be in each room for each talk to make sure that speakers get off to a smooth start. This includes making sure their laptops work properly (and seeking help if not), setting up the microphone, and signalling them as they approach the time limit for their talk. I've found a tablet with a big "5 MIN" written in a word processor works well. The idea is to give 10, 5, 2, and 1 minute notices for longer talks, and 5, 2, and 1 minute notices for shorter talks. * We need people to monitor the sound in each room during each talk. This will preferably need to be someone who's familiar with audio kit, and is probably the most technically demanding item on this list. * We need people to monitor the LiveStreams to make sure that things are proceeding smoothly and to let us know if / when things go pear-shaped. * We need folks to greet / redirect / guide attendees to their destinations on Monday morning. Ideally this will be people who have tablets with maps of the area to show people where to go and how to get there. There are other ways to do this, of course, and the above is just one tested and known-working approach. This also includes people standing outside LBJ and making sure people reach the registration desk, which brings us to the next point. * We need people to coordinate registration on Monday morning, which opens at 7 AM. Yes, it's 7 AM, and it's a crime against nature. However, there is a major perk for this position: every single person needs to pass through registration. Every single attendee. This is a unique opportunity to meet new people and make connections with a large part of the Perl community. If you've ever wanted to have a good reason to talk with someone in the Perl community, this could be it! * We need people to shepherd folks to / from the busses and into The Stage for Tuesday night. This will help make sure everyone arrives where and when they need to be there. * We need people to coordinate setting up and tearing down at The Stage early Tuesday and late Tuesday, respectively. If any of the above sounds interesting, please let us know by emailing volunteers at yapcna.org. We'll contact you offlist to coordinate further. Thank you for your interest in helping out! YAPC is more than anything a community conference, and by helping out you help us make a better conference for everyone. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Here are some smaller-ish versions of the TCC floor plan and conference schedule (the same images as they appear in the printed conf booklet, actually). If you have a smartphone and you're attending the conference, save this where you can reference it easily so you don't always have to go online to see the schedule. *Actually there is already one correction to the below; at Monday 3:40, Nick Perez is speaking on CloudPAN instead of Samit Badle on Selenium. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
