We are less than 2 weeks away from the 2nd Annual Finding Our Roots conference, and at this time we’d like to make a brief appeal for volunteers. Even if you have not been active in organizing the conference and are not giving a talk, you can help by agreeing to take on a 2 hour volunteer shift to help make the conference a success.

A pretty small group of people (of which I am only peripherally a part) has been involved in organizing it, and there’s a lot of little jobs to be done on the days of the conference and we’re looking for people to help out so the organizers can actually attend some of the workshops. We’re asking people to sign up to provide childcare, work the registration table, and set up food. If you’re planning on attending the conference, please consider helping out for one or two time slots, as you’ll be benefiting from the hard work of the organizing committee.

We need help with the following:

setup
cleanup
registration table
childcare
videography
veg/vegan friendly breakfast & coffee (sat & sun)
snacks

Please let me know if you can pitch in, in what capacity, and what day and time. Contact us here.

We also would encourage folks to promote the conference to friends, comrades, the anarchocurious, etc.
