Call for help - A note from our chairman

written by T-DOSE on 2024-05-28

I have been part of the core team of T-DOSE for a good few years now, and have even been bumped up to chairman of the T-DOSE foundation. And I have to say that I really like putting time and effort into keeping our event alive and helping it grow over the years. The enthusiasm of the core team is infectious, and we have gotten very experienced in organising this event.

However, in the years since COVID-19 we have lost a few core organisers, and this is affecting the workload of the remaining team. Some tasks are harder to get done, and I fear future editions of T-DOSE may suffer from that. We are particularly short-handed in the area of money-related tasks, such as fund raising and managing the foundation's finances.

So, if you think that organising an open source conference is worth a few evenings a month of your time, please let us know. We are particularly looking for a new treasurer for our foundation and for someone who is good at finding and communicating with prospective sponsors, but extra hands in other areas are also very welcome.

If you want to help, but feel that you lack the time to help us organise T-DOSE throughout the year, or prefer a more hands-on role during the event, we are also looking to increase our pool of volunteers for the actual weekend. So don't hesitate to let us know if you're available!

Join us for a chance to get that warm feeling of seeing your efforts lead to yet another great event!

Hope to see you soon,

Peter van Ginneken
Chairman of the T-DOSE foundation
