Here are some of the tasks associated with BarCampBoston3 and who will be performing them. The person in parentheses has been nominated as backup in case the primary person gets.... errr "Hit by a Bus" as they say.

Master of Ceremonies - kicks off the plenary session in the cafeteria with the "Rules of BarCamp" and then rides herd on the short round robin intro and session pimping. Shimon Rura, (probably... Bryan Del Vecchio)

Master of the Session Grid - makes sure the session grid is up and potential presenters play by the rules when posting sessions to the grid. Jay Neely, ( need a backup/reliever so Jay can go to the bathroom/lunch etc.)

Registration and Schwag Guardian - All things related to the registration of attendees and the distribution of Schwag . Sooz - she stills needs a couple of helpers. Email her at sooz at sooz dot com or send a DM on twitter to @sooz

Food and Beverage Master - Make sure the appropriate quanities of cold and hot beverages are ordered and distributed. Makes a head count around 11:00 am each day and places the vital pizza order.
