Task Descriptions

Runner
Provide general support across all event rooms. This will involve being available during sessions to deliver materials around the venue.
AV assistant
Provide technical support during the event regarding the sound, troubleshooting general technical problems (likely with hardware connections for presenters). Familiarity with AV systems, python, and raspberry pi preferred.
BoF Tech Support (Online)
Help remote presenters to get connected and use the virtual streaming platform and watch the matrix channels to guide online attendees to the correct spaces. Coordinate with the in person Tech Support or BOF Facilitator for those rooms to troubleshoot any problems if any arise. Familiarity with BBB and OBS is a plus.
Speaker's support
Support and connect with speakers before their talks, make sure they have water and know which room to be in and when, what equipment requirements they have (presentation, video playing, etc), communicate with other support volunteers (runners, tech support, etc) to handle any infrastructure needs or unexpected problems.
Live streaming
Ensure the live streams are happening on the correct channels. Familiarity with Big Blue Button and OBS streaming setups is a plus.
BoF Facilitator
Monitor the room and the online chat for questions, be the voice for the people watching online. Keep the conversation flowing between in-person and online attendees by alternating (as much as possible) questions/comments by online and in-person participants. Work with the Tech support volunteers as needed to troubleshoot any problems. See the BoF page for more information on running a good BoF
