<br>
first of all, I want to thank you all for your collaboration once<br>
again. Without your help, this could never happen!<br>
<br>
We have already organised our schedules and divided the tasks among<br>
the volunteers. Please, keep in mind, that we have tried to assign you<br>
your preferred tasks, but sometimes it is very difficult to fit<br>
everybody in where they want to. We did it our best to keep you happy,<br>
but if you still feel like you do not fit in your tasks, please, just<br>
let me know and we will try to find another solution.<br>
<br>
It could also happen, that your name is not in the schedule, although<br>
you signed up as a volunteer. This just means, that the slots were<br>
covered before you signed up, but we might still need your help during<br>
the event!<br>
<br>
In the following link, you will find the schedule, with the tasks<br>
assigned to you and the time those tasks will start:<br>

<br>
I also make some comments in the following paragraphs regarding the<br>
different tasks. Please, read those *carefully*.<br>
<br>
== *Important* information to take into account ==<br>
- We will give each of you team t-shirts (cool red ones :D). Please,<br>
wear them during the DS days. This will help the attendees and the<br>
team to recognise you.<br>
- Bring always your badge with you (a cool red one too!).<br>
- Be at least 30 minutes earlier than the beginning of your task to<br>
prepare everything, or earlier when we specify it, specially, if you<br>
have never done the task before.<br>
<br>
== Task descriptions ==<br>
<br>
=== Setting up on Friday the 5th===<br>
Those of you assigned to Humbold Universität [1], will be in charge of<br>
the setting up in the venue. Kenny Duffus (+49 17639006637) and Mirko<br>
Boehm will be the contact persons for this, and they will start<br>
setting everything up at 12:00, so it would be great if you could be<br>
there at this time too. After the setting up, we can all go partying<br>
to the C-Base :)))<br>
<br>
Those of you assigned to the C-Base [1] , will be in charge of the<br>
setting up of it and the pre-registration of the first attendees. You<br>
