[IFF Team]

Hey AmigXs,

The Festival is tomorrow! Thank you for all volunteers that came today
to help setup - you rock more than we can possibly express. Below you
find the list of Monday sessions, and some tips to get the most out of
your first day!

* 9:00am shift Volunteers should be at the venue by 8:45am...And thank
you for being rockstars, as this is the hardest shift :)

* If a speaker forgets to pick volunteers for the following roles,
please remind them, as this will help create a more awesome environment:
Note-taker, Timekeeper, and Gatekeeper.

* If you are a Note-Taker, please remember to put your notes in the wiki
page for that specific session. All sessions listed here:
https://internetfreedomfestival.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Theme


* We will not be scheduling any self-organized sessions until AFTER the
opening ceremony.

* Please make sure to regularly check and post to the Need / Offer wall.
We are specifically interested in finding bilingual folks by tomorrow,
who can be on call for real-time translation during sessions.

* We will setting up a Welcome Help Desk, a Glitter Help Desk, and a
Health Desk in the patio. We need volunteers for this! See Victoria if
you are interested.

Lastly, HAVE FUN! Celebrate! Meet new peeps and if you are an IFF
veteran, please go out of your way to make new peeps feel welcome! This
is a festival after all :)

Much Love!!
