Helping This Meetup

Keeping Boston Software Crafters running requires lots of small jobs. If you take on one of these, it’s a big help to the organization. You can sign up for one of these and then move to doing something else later on. Or you can suggest a different job that you’re interested in doing.

To volunteer or discuss in more detail, contact us.

We really appreciate your help!

T-shirt Wizard It would be amazing to have Boston Software Crafters t-shirts to sell. Find someone to design the shirt (or design it yourself). Work with enough leaders of the group to get approval of the design. Find a vendor with the right price/quality balance. Decide on the right quantity and mix of sizes to order. Deal with the vendor to get the shirts made.
Attendee Greeter People showing up to an evening event could use a friendly face to greet them. Tell people how to get started. Make them feel welcome. This can be totally informal; if you warmly greet just one apprehensive attendee, you’ve made a difference! This is needed both for on line and when we go back to in person.
