Volunteering information

We have some need for volunteers before, during and after the conference.

• Before the conference: we need people at the FSF office on Friday, March 23rd to help put the finishing touches to the attendee and speaker packs.
• During the conference: we need volunteers for each room of talks as microphone runners and for helping people find their way around.

Details are subject to change.
