Wish list for OCW:

• bring volunteer app into the fold
  • send reminder emails (maybe even texts!)
• Add https (🔒 Website needs HTTPS support #307)
• management portal for committee chairs to:
  • submit items they need purchased
  • contracts to sign
  • w9s received? (tricky b/c privacy)
  • upcoming vendor contracts
  • generate signs / forms
    • session monitor cards
    • incident response forms
    • door cards with all talks in that room for each day
    • directional signs
    • etc.
• aggregate reports for co-chairs
  • current total ticket sales, compared to year over year
  • sponsor fulfillment

Venue things:

• box fans for A-side speaker, staff, volunteer, and media lounges (some have no air) (🌬 Ensure sufficient air flow / cooling in A-side classrooms #325)
• scheduled hacker lounge demos with fun things (zine making, solder, etc.) (maybe a maker track?)

Organizer things:

• mandatory staff briefing for all staff ahead of time
  • include that people can go home if not well. We can cover it.
• add Stumptown Syndicate branding to all our stuff

Content stuff: (2016)

• get speaker slides to sync up with audio to upload to youtube
• Create a speaker content guide about what should be content warned (including moving images) (✒️ Update 2017 Speaker Information page on the OSB wiki #313)

Document all the things!

More to come! 🎉

[azurelunatic]

• When possible, include speaker names on the mini schedule in the badge. (📛 Print attendee badges #329 (comment))

(There may not always be room, but I've missed things I'd planned to see due to not remembering all my acquaintances' talk titles.)

[azurelunatic]

• Blue tape clearance zones around room entrances as well as in the hacker lounge. (🔹 Lay down blue tape clearance zones for mobility and traffic flow #331)
• Index the tea more visibly (record store type label cards)
• Those flimsy plastic folding chairs from Able Party Rental are only suitable for the smaller attendees, and creates an unequal seating situation.
