* VOLUNTEERS
We're currently looking for volunteer translators. If you understand
Japanese and
can type English fast, we WANT YOU. We want to do translations to/from
Japanese/English
in real-time using IRC, which will also serve as a log of the presentations.
As a volunteer, you'll receive an staff t-shirt (illustrated by _why),
but will receive no other
compensation. You won't need a ticket for the main event, but since
you'll be volunteering,
it is possible that you will not be able to see all the presentations.
Please apply via e-mail to rubykaigi2008 AT jp.rubyist.net with the
following details:
SUBJECT: RubyKaigi2008/TL (Your Name)
BODY:
- your name
- days you can attend
- tell us a little about your translation abilities
(no web page for this bit!)

Hope to see you there!
