Angel FAQ
Duties - I'd like to be an angel, what would be my duties?
There are a lot of things to do, a rough outline can be found on the angel page. We do not assign angels in advance to positions, instead use the [Angel System] to sign up for shifts you want to do. You can "book" shifts one week in advance, and probably quite some time before.
Briefings - At what time will the angel briefings take place?
The briefings will be in the heaven, at following times:
| Day - Hours |

| 2009-12-26 - 18:00 |
| 2009-12-27 - 10:00 and 18:00 |
| 2009-12-28 - 10:00 and 18:00 |

Work Duration -How long do I have to work as an angel?
This question isn't easy to answer because it depends on the chosen job and the availability of other angels. Working hours also vary with individual motivation. As a rule of thumb, four hours a day may be considered normal.
Minimum Age - I'm only XX years old. Can I help?
When you are old enough to attend the congress then you are old enough to help.
(so - what's the minimum age then?) "Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position." (taken from: Hacker ethic) Okkie
Entrance Fee - Do Angels have to pay the congress fee?
YES, everyone has to pay the entrance fee - including Angels.
There are reductions for CCC members and pupils*.
- What's the difference between a "student" and a "pupil?" I am attending a university in the US full time and want to know if I am eligible for the discount. If so, what documentation is acceptable? Is my school-issued ID enough? Think "pupils" as people attending a K-12 school (up to and including highschool). People attending a university are called "Studenten", so you will have to pay the full price like many other people coming to the congress. :-) (Only pupils, who are still going to school, will get a discount)
Badge - Where do I get my Angel badge?
As soon as you have registered with the Angel System, you may obtain your badge at the Ministry of Information. From experience, badges won't be available until late evening of Day 0, so don't be there too early. If in doubt, just call INFO.
Also, you may want to bring your own lanyard, as those tend to be out of stock fast.
Things to bring!
Your Cup (to transport your FREE hot drinks)
Your plate, fork, knife and spoon if you would like to 'build' something.
