Hi everyone, Thanks to everyone who has signed up, which is a lot of you! Final request for help this year. Tasks are at: https://volunteers.fosdem.org/tasks/ - if you haven't signed up and are wondering, please do :). Highlights: - We only need 4 more people for the cloakroom on Saturday evening, but it's an important task that becomes nearly impossible with less people. Likewise, we need only 4 more people for the Sunday afternoon + evening. - 2 talks really need at least one herald on Sunday: - Heralding: Fine-grained Distributed Application Monitoring Using LTTng at 12:00. Likely interesting to see for sysadmins, (dev)ops people and web devs with an interest in monitoring. - Heralding: Open Source C#, .NET, and Blazor - everywhere PLUS WebAssembly at 15:00. Topics obviously WebAsm, but also a little bit about how Microsoft shows a turn-around in its position towards open-source, a pretty hot topic regardless of your own position :). - At least 2 people at Infodesk H at 17:00-18:30. If you're doing clean-up anyway this may fit well with your schedule. There are also a few other opportunities of lower priority, including lighting talks heralding and video camera operation. Many FOSDEM teams have made improvements this year so hopefully you'll find various processes go more smoothly this year. See you all very very soon!

Hello everyone,
Thanks for coming out in such numbers so far, it's very reassuring to your friendly organising team! We do need a few more people.
If you've already signed up, the schedule been finalised recently so many more room heralding tasks are available. https://volunteers.fosdem.org/tasks/
We particularly need room heralds, lighting talk heralds and video camera operators. Please consider volunteering for one of these roles if you want to go to the talk anyway. They are very simple to do, you're guaranteed entry to the room, and you'll still see the talk!
For the locals among you: FOSDEM needs some help in the nearby city of Leuven before and after the event. See Thursday and Monday evening van (un)loading tasks for details.
There will be just one more email, to highlight urgent volunteer needs shortly before the conference.
Greetings, Emanuil

Hello everyone,
We've been reliably informed that FOSDEM 2019 is happening soon. We look forward to seeing you all in Brussels! Oh, and our Call for Volunteers is out: https://fosdem.org/2019/news/2019-01-10-call-for-volunteers/
Come help out, it'll be fun! Plus of course, it would be literally impossible to make this community event happen without all the wonderful people who volunteer.
Kind regards, The FOSDEM Volunteers Team
