Almost Locked and Loaded For Code Camp V6. It’s Friday, 25 Volunteers Here For You!

Posted by Peter Kellner on October 7, 2011 @ 3:36 PM

We’ve been working now for about 90 minutes getting ready for the big event.  The weather is awesome and promises to be that for the weekend.  In the past 6 years, we have had one rainy code camp and that was plenty.  I have sneaked off to the campus library so I don’t have to write this on my phone.  I plan to put all the pictures here, then schedule them to be tweeted over the next couple hours.  If you read this, you will be ahead of the curve!

Daniel, our Foothill College Staff Helper leaning on 1 of 2 palettes of cups from 10gen.  They always give away cups at shows so we could hardly so no.  The stats:  1100 Pounds, 1500 cups.  Big old truck.

I hope everyone likes water.   6000 bottles!  Our plan is to keep ice buckets in our sponsors tables and if attendees want water with their food, guess where they have to go.  I hope it’s not to burdonsome.  After all, the event is 100% and the goodies (including the water) are paid for by our generous sponsors.

Preparing the assembly of attendee bags.  We have 2000 attendee bags that will stuff with stuff from 11 Platinum sponsors.  30 seconds a bag, 8 volunteers at this task, you do the math.

Drove the Prius in with one load. Did not run over any students.  No one seem to care.

Shirt Factory.  Besides all the shirts vendors bring, we buy very nice collared embroidered shirts for our speakers and staff.  Volunteers get a very nice T-Shirt with a custom code camp design.

 

Well, I better get back (not that anyone misses me)

We Need Volunteers for Silicon Valley Code Camp On October 8th and 9th!

SVCC needs your help.  This year’s event is bigger and better than ever and we need more helping hands to make things run smoothly.  Volunteering has so many benefits, the chance to meet and work with others like you, that feeling of goodness knowing you are contributing to an all-volunteer technology event, plus you’re invited to attend the speaker appreciation dinner on Saturday and you’ll get a cool T-shirt.  All this for just a couple hours of your time.

Our procedure this year for volunteering is the same as last year (but not previous years).  If you want to volunteer, you need to update your registration page to let us know that at http://siliconvalley-codecamp.com/Register.aspx (assuming you have not done that already).

This registration page requires you to check the box at the bottom to volunteer, as well as put a contact mobile phone number that we can reach you on at the event itself.  Then, after you have updated your registration, go to this page: http://siliconvalley-codecamp.com/VolunteerForJob.aspx and pick the job(s) you are interested in doing.

Most of the jobs are 1 hour with a 15 minute overlap to train the next volunteer. A few jobs are longer 1.5 hours. We’d really appreciate volunteers who can handle 2 slots (back-to-back on Registration, which would effectively be about 2 hours)

Our procedure this year for volunteering has changed. Instead of going to a wiki like the past 4 years, we’ve baked the jobs into the silicon valley code camp web site. If you want to volunteer, you need to update your registration page to let us know that at http://siliconvalley-codecamp.com/Register.aspx (assuming you have not done that already).
