CON.TXT needs volunteers!

[corbae]

We’re back with another all-virtual CON.TXT, and (just like last year) we need volunteers to help out with Discord and Zoom!

We are looking for volunteers to help us with:

• Monitoring channels (text-based, no voice channels) on the con's Discord server by reading everything posted to your assigned channels during your volunteer time slot and reporting code of conduct issues.
  
  
• Hosting and monitoring panels on Zoom by assisting presenters with screen sharing, monitoring the Zoom chat, and reporting technical and code of conduct issues.

We will host several 1–2 hour optional training sessions for volunteers on how to use Discord and Zoom, so volunteers with little or no knowledge of these platforms (or with lots of knowledge and a low comfort level) are welcome!

Please note, all volunteers will be required to attend a 1-hour training session on volunteer responsibilities. Multiple times will be offered in the two weeks before the con.

If you’d like to volunteer, please fill out this survey by midnight Eastern Daylight Time (what time is that for me?) on Tuesday, June 8.

Question: for volunteer training, the form says to "indicate when you are generally available" - I'm not consistently available in any of the listed categories, but sometimes available in any of them. What should I check off?
(Sorry my schedule is weird!)

Go ahead and mark times when you might be available. You’ll get a survey with specific date/times for potential training sessions once we know the general availability everyone has.

Thanks!
