Session Chairs

This page lists the session chairs for PyCon 2005. If you wish to volunteer to chair a session, please edit this page and replace the word "UNASSIGNED" with your name. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to get in touch with the volunteer coordinator, David Goodger (no need to confirm; I'm automatically informed of changes to this page).

Responsibilities

Session Chairs are expected to meet briefly with the people who will be presenting in their session, before the session. Ask them a few questions so you can introduce them (introductions should be quite brief), and be certain you know how to pronounce their names!

Before beginning the talks, encourage the audience to fill all the available seats instead of sitting in the aisles or standing by the door.

Session chairs should plan to arrive in the room about 10-15 minutes before their session in order to ensure everything is set up properly. Make sure that the sessions start on time and keep to the schedule. (You'll need to be sure to bring a watch!) It is a good idea to have little signs to let the speakers know when 10 minutes and 5 minutes are left. Don't interrupt in the middle of a sentence, but try to keep things moving along on time.

Once the speakers have started, please close the doors to screen out noise from people talking in the hallway. If you want to leave one door open for people to arrive quietly, that's fine, but please be prepared to close it if people are being noisy outside.

Upon conclusion of each presentation, encourage the speakers to disconnect their equipment and move into the hallway for discussions so the next speaker will not be delayed in starting.

Schedule details may change, so be sure to revisit this page to confirm prior to the event. Here's the detailed schedule and the list of talks with abstracts. We also need volunteers for the registration desk.
