Call For Volunteers:
All of those great times you just had were made possible
because somebody stepped forward and made those activities
happen!
During DLV, a number of you asked if there was anything you
could do to help out.
Yes, there is, and now is the time to say so!
Planning and organization of DLV is done mostly on line via
e-mail. It's interactive and participatory. Volunteers form
what we call the DLVORG group.
The DLVORG group is not at all closed or exclusive. With
very rare exception only, it's open to anybody who expresses
interest in helping out with DLV.
DLVORG people participate at the decision-making level, the
organizing and planning level, and at the nuts-and-bolts level.
All of the activities were "adopted" by one or more of our
volunteers, who jumped through the necessary hoops to make them
happen.
Most of the real "work" involves planning activities and making
the activities happen. (And I say "work" in quotes, because it
can actually be a lot of fun!)
Joining the DLVORG group is not intended to be a status symbol.
We're all peers, both organizers and participants. There's no
class structure or pecking order. Hey, we're planning a vacation,
not building an empire!
If you're sincere about wanting to do your part to make a great
thing even better, to give back what DLV has given to you, and
help to run an event that has literally changed lives, please
step forward!
I would also encourage those who are "newly out" to consider
volunteering. We need the perspective of those who are new to
public exposure when planning DLV. Each year since 1997, DLV
has given some of our people their first public experience.
We do value the input and support of those who are new, as
we do the input from those who have been in public for years.
To volunteer, please do one of the following:
Visit the URL:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlvvol1.html
Fill out the screen and check a few things, click SUBMIT, and
you're on your way!
Alternatively, simply send a brief e-mail message to
dlvorg@geekbabe.com and state you wish to volunteer. (Or, just
reply to this mailing and state that you wish to volunteer.)
Please include a sentence or two stating how you are most
interested in helping out. Anything general or specific ("I
wanna plan a sky-diving party.", or "I'll help any way I can.")
is perfectly fine. Anything from one sentence to a book length
manuscript will be ok.
We're not asking for any kind of a major time or effort
commitment on your part. All we ask is that each volunteer
organize, or assist with one activity. That's it.
Yes, it's fine to conditionally volunteer. "I'll help out but
I don't know if I can attend next year ..." is fine. Likewise
is something like "I'll plan the High Tea if nobody else wants
to do it."
If you're a bit shy, that's fine. We'll find something for you
where you don't have to go cold-calling vendors or anything
like that.
And yes, out-of-the-box thinking is encouraged! As you know,
we're not limited to the things that traditionally happen at
TG events, and we're certainly not limited to those which
have already happened at DLV.

Survey reminder:
We're asking all who attended to please take our DLV 2011
follow-up survey, which is now on line.
In particular, we're also asking people such as SOs, friends,
guests, and other "nontraditional" attendees to participate
in the survey as well.
You can take the survey by clicking here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/2011survey.html
This survey will remain on line through May 15th..
Thanks to all for giving us very valuable feedback!

Still Missing In Action:
Thanks to all who have reported themselves as present.
We want to be sure that everyone who attended has been counted.
Please look over the following list. If your name is NOT on
it, you don't need to do anything.
If your name IS on it, and you DID attend, please let us know.
Just reply to this mailing, and please give us the first DLV
activity you attended so we can mark that as your actual date
of arrival.
If you should find your name on this list and you did attend,
please don't panic and please don't get upset. It may be
something like a clerical error, an oversight, or it may be that
you did not get an opportunity to formally check in. Please let
us know that you were indeed in attendance.
