As always the HHV relies on volunteers to help staff the village. So if you are interested in volunteering post a response. Defcon is Less than 2 months away so its time to make plans once again for the HHV.

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

Re: Call for Volunteers
Originally posted by bombnav View PostSounds 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.
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
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!afterburn
