DIY Panel Sign-ups

[alpheratz]

We are offering seven DIY panel slots this year! Read on if you’re interested in signing up.

There are four DIY panel slots on Saturday, June 26 (10 am, 11 am, 3:30 pm, and 5:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time) and three on Sunday, June 27 (9 am, 11 am, and 2 pm EDT). (What time is that for me?)

DIY panel slots can be claimed on a first come, first served basis at 8am EDT each day—you’re limited to claiming one timeslot per day. Once a member of the CON.TXT Concom opens the DIY panel signup in the #channel-requests channel in the Discord server, you’re welcome to claim a slot for that day (Discord server invites will be sent out once CON.TXT registration closes at noon EDT on Friday, June 25). Once we’ve indicated our acceptance in the Discord channel, you will need to provide the following information:

• a title and description for your panel
• names of the person(s) who will be moderating the panel
• the name of the person who will take on the responsibility to serve as the Zoom tech moderator.

Please note: DIY panels will not be moderated by CON.TXT volunteers.

The Concom will create a new DIY panel channel in the Discord server, open the Zoom track ten minutes prior to the panel start, and transfer Zoom hosting responsibilities to the indicated tech moderator. A Concom member will resume Zoom hosting responsibilities once each DIY panel ends.

We urge anyone interested in claiming a DIY slot to review the CON.TXT Code of Conduct and watch the panel moderator training (reference slides) to adequately prepare ahead of time to moderate a DIY or any other panel.
