[boston-pig] Boston PyCon 2008 Bid call for Volunteers

[Napoleone, Doug]

All,
    Samuel Klein is working to put together a Bid for having PyCon be hosted
in Boston for 2008/2009.
The bids will be presented at PyCon07 this Febuary 23rd. We are looking for
volunteers to help
with some of the logistics of putting together a bid.

This includes contacting hotels to request information, and just making your
voice heard.

Part of the bid requirements includes the following:

> Volunteers
> 
> Some parts of PyCon organization can be done remotely, but having local
volunteers is vital to the conference's success. Volunteers can:
> 
>     * Explore locations before the conference.
>     * Receive deliveries in the weeks before the conference.
>     * Run the registration desk.
>     * Help advertise the conference locally at schools, user groups.
>     * Help prepare the conference rooms, wireless networking, badges,
conference tote bags, etc.
> 
> Does your location have a pool of volunteer labour?


We need to show that Boston has such a pool of people.
