VOLUNTEERS:
I will have some people to help me run the rhythm gaming smoothly. I will retrieve their badge names and actual names once they are confirmed. I would like to have stickers I could put on their badges to designate that they are my little minions, but can make them myself if necessary. These are people who have been approved by me to operate all TV's, Computers, machines, controllers, and additional hardware or software related to music gaming.

If we are getting computers for LAN, I would like three to be available for StepMania with monitors between 22" and 30". The program would be run via flash memory or network, preferably by network. Comparatively mobile computers would be preferable.


CAMERAS: I don't want any media of the DDR. I've taken a lot of precautions to make sure I'm not trodding on Konami's intellectual property rights, but I could still get sued for using StepMania at the convention. As far as amateur cameras go, I would appreciate a sign requesting that anyone taking photographs or video of the area that has the DDR in it talk to me, so I can tell them what they can and cannot put up on youtube. Again, I've made this as legal as I can without purchasing a $7000 machine that's outdated and hardly functional. I don't want to get sued for donating hundreds of hours of time and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to this convention.
