Writing reference letters for volunteers

Most of our Calico volunteers were Ling students who can make use of a reference letter about their service during the conference, so I've written those this morning.

Calico tasks today

  • Checked registration desk first thing -- all OK.
  • Checked rooms for outlets, and discovered we'll need about four extra power strips. We found four around HCMC.
  • Met with all concerned for a final team meeting. Discovered that no AV had been ordered for McKenzie-Sinclair or Campus View, so AE sorted that out for us.
  • Booted all the Mac laptops -- all OK, except that two have bad batteries so power mustn't be disconnected from them. Labelled those.
  • Took DM and MS on a tour of the presentation rooms, and checked ports in Bob Wright; they weren't connected, so GN has asked for the relevant ports to be turned on.

Calico: exterior signs placed, interior ones printed

We've put out all the exterior signs, and I've printed up what I think we'll need for interior signage. We've already put out a couple of signs at Cadboro Commons to help people find the registration room. Netlinks have been passed to EH, and everything seems to be going well so far.

Signs ready

Had the signs delivered, and taped and waterproofed them all with JN. They're ready to be deployed on Monday. We can put them out ourselves, which is going to make things a little simpler.

Calico: made the signs

With a print vend card, printed out all the 11x17 signs and then taped them together. I'll take them home tonight and spray them in an attempt to make them a bit more resistant to the weather.

Calico: signage

US and I took a walk around the campus and decided on where our signs should be placed. I've now plotted them all on a Google Earth view and generated an image from them, along with info on what needs to be on which side, and I'll start creating the actual PDFs for printing tomorrow. I also called the sign folks in Grounds and checked on how they work; they have a coroplast insert and they can tape signs to each side for us.

Calico: trip to the banquet room

Took a trip over to the banquet room, and took photos; tested the network port, and measured some distances. Also spoke to MS on the phone, and we're agreed that the twin pillars look like a good spot to bring down the network cable and locate the camera, assuming the servers don't object.
