Boots on the Ground Coordinators

It'd be helpful if we had arm bands or t-shirts to distinguish .The first year, Iwakna carried a red umbrella, the info umbrella".

Is our color purple?

There was a suggestion of bringing the yellow plastic hardhats from S17 last year in N.Y.C.

Everyone who will be on the ground can sign up for the cell that was set up for us. It's a group text messaging system that worked very well for us in 2012 and probably has some improvements since then. http://cel.ly/c/NatGat2014

I think we need to talk to Gabriel Forsythe y Korzeniewicz
Cel.ly
@FyK to see if he can get on one of the Wednesday calls and show us the capabilities.

Umm, I am not sure what is being asked here. .
Yes, I think I will need housing.
If I get there. sigh......

I would hope people are planning to have a safe place to stay overnight. I am staying at the Sacramento Hostel for $20 a night. It's dormitory style so we can stay up all night and braid each other's hair. http://www.norcalhostels.org/sac

lol. wow - the site says $29.99 cheapest, so that's a cool discount.

Folks, it's two weeks before the gathering - are we to take it that only 11 ppl in this organizing group of 34 or so will be on the ground in Sac? We need a base team to coordinate things on the ground.
Every day there needs to be
food check
security check
logistics check
volunteer coordination to food, tables, activities, supplies, transportation (food, supplies, people)
set up of tables, canopies, other
break down same

and probably a lot more I am forgetting

also let's not forget the scrounge list - are folks trying to scrounge up items? add to this doc or let someone know who can put it on the doc

my plan is 2 be in sacramento on the 25th. if that changes i'll let everyone know. =)

If you're media savvy, there'll be a media tent and a media rally on Saturday, (if you search this group, for "Media Rally", you'll see the discussion and who's working on that we need livetweeters and people willing to haul water, to coordinate the Livestreams so the people at home can follow along.
Thanks for stepping up!!!!

I thought the media thing was on Friday. Can you clarify?

Media is all day, every day—but specific focus on Friday.
