Call for Volunteers

Re: Call for Volunteers

Hey wuz up ColoQ,

I'm skulldreamz, was lucky enough to have got into software engineering through my grandfather who worked at Harry Diamond Labs and he actually designed the fuse for the patriot missile. He would tell me stories and I got to be exposed to a bunch of top secret code once he retired :P Anyway I'm in school for hardware testing unofficially and software engineering. Other than that I've never been involved in a community besides I'm in xda and have my own thread got firmware flashing without a PC. I want to help out and volunteer in any way that I could. I have a good amount of free time and am learning from some great people but I love to find new hacks on my own. Anyway my name is Steve Evans and my email is mylyfemylyfe32@gmail.com I would be honored to get knocked in defcon in anyway I can. It's so dope dude! Hope to hear from you and anyone else involved in heading this up. Thanks n Peace

Re: Call for Volunteers

I was just about to start working on getting something together for the soldering mini talks. Am I stepping on toes?



Do you have any support material already generated you could point me to? I'm running into time crunches and it would help me out.

We welcome people that want to step up so no toes to step on.

Re: Call for Volunteers

I have a few people that want to address it but your spot will always be reserved for future HHVs so next year we hope to see you back!

I won't make defcon this year unfortunately. I had been giving those intro to soldering mini-talks which were very popular. If you can it would definitely be good to keep that going.

Re: Call for Volunteers

Again - if anyone is interested in volunteering, please send me your email address as we're formalizing plans now.

Thanks!

Re: Call for Volunteers

I'm interested in volunteering. Let me know how I can help or if you're looking for something specific I could bring that might be useful.

Re: Call for Volunteers

I'll be blasting out information to the volunteers shortly. If folks are still interested and haven't contacted me, do so shortly so I can add you to the list. Those who have - if I don't have your email address please pass that over as well.

It's going to be a fun year!

Re: Call for Volunteers

All right, Synshop is down for having a presence at DC22. I have 10(ish) volunteers that are willing to help out. Right now here is where I'm at...

We are committed to the following:
- Assisting with soldering.
- Selling DC Darknet kits (assuming that is allowed).
- Showing off some of our members' projects.

Leaning strongly towards:
- Selling the DC Darknet Kits. (assuming this is allowed)
- Doing a few classes
- Intro to Soldering
- Intro to Arduino. (This is being floated on my end. will need to solidify it).

Want more input:
- I'm assuming volunteering does not automatically get a badge for Defcon. I want to confirm this so my folks can plan accordingly.
- Can we request donations at our booth?
- How much table space should we expect (I assume 1 or 2 6 foot long foldout tables)
- Is the classes format going to be similar to the format from last year - a projector in the middle of the HHV room?
- Do we need to bring anything to support the classes?
- Any thoughts on what we can do to help you other than what I've laid out?

Great!! Since you are the first hackerspace to request a presence in a long time I am setting aside a special space for you in the HHV. I do know darknet got a vendor table approved so your good to go for selling in the HHV. I am planning on giving you at least 4 to 6 tables, darknet at least 2 and the vendor will have 1. As for the donations I am unsure how that works so send me a PM and we will get you the answer. Yes I am planning the same presentation area and plan on arranging the tables differently once I get the floor dim. DC has 20+ soldering stations so I can plant 5 to 10 stations with lights in your area to support darknet, badges and soldering help etc so anything else you might need you need to bring. Just being open to helping people work on badges or projects that they have is all I request, so please don't make it a closed darknet only area. Once I pick up the DC items from supply on Wed I will know more about final setup so be flexible.

Re: Call for Volunteers

Sounds great I am trying to establish more of a make/hacker community in the HHV this year and hopefully years to come where its a open source of knowledge. let us know what the decision is.

Re: Call for Volunteers

Yes we would love to set up a table for our Hackerspace. At the very least we would be willing to walk around and help any folks who need help soldering. Classes sound do-able: however, I'll coordinate with the folks on my before a legit commit.

Re: Call for Volunteers

Are you interested in setting up a table(s) for your hackerspace in the HHV? I would like to see that and think that is a perfect fit for the HHV.

If you want to run some schedule classes we can advertise that as well as any talks you want to give.

Bombnav, you and Krux have been emailing privately. I'm representing SynShop the Las Vegas Hackerspace What do I/we need to do?

Thanks!

Re: Call for Volunteers

I always notice the correct thread to say something in after I already said something. I'm in, you should still have my contact info, otherwise PM me.

I will search my messages. Afterburn is handing the cord. of volunteers for me and we already talked about you and of course your in!
