Let me add one more volunteer task to the stack:

Photographer

It would be great if someone wandered around the event and took pictures 
of people having fun. Not just speakers speaking, but people in the expo 
room, people listening to talks, people talking excitedly in the hallway.

Then, after the event is over, forward the photos to us (along with a 
statement that we can use them).

That way, when next year comes around, we can make a web site that shows 
people having fun. Not that our current "quiet wall of text" web site is 
bad, but, you know, photographs are awesome.

Our web site says:

We should be more pro-active, of course. If someone objects to being 
photographed, don't do it! Delete photos if people ask you to. If you're 
photographing one or two people in particular, ask them *before* snapping.
Also check the schedule; some speakers have requested "no photography 
or recording" for their talks.

Talk to Dan if you're interested in doing this.
