Signal Angels

Signal Angels care for all those listening to talks via the Streams from home. They watch Twitter and IRC channels and provide feedback/questions to the speakers in the Q/A session after the talk.

REMARK: Signal angels need to bring their own laptop in order to do their job!

For more information ask watz who is in charge of that department.

There will be signal angel meetings, where you will be briefed for the upcoming events. Check the timetable in the Engelsystem regularly.

Mini Howto

1. Sign up for a shift in the Engelsystem. Check also which herald is responsible for the talk
2. Be at the correct hall at least 10 minutes before the event starts.
3. Tell the herald that you are the assigned signal angel and take the seat which will be provided for you.
   1. Hall 1 & Hall 2: You can sit next to the Subtitle Angels. Cabled network is provided over there
   2. Hall 6 & G: You can sit in the last row near the VOC. Please use wireless network
4. Establish your network connection and be ready for questions. (see also Remarks below)

IRC & Twitter

1. Login with you favourite IRC client at irc.hackint.eu.
2. Set your nickname: /nick SignalAngel or /nick myNickname
3. Join the appropriate channel for your room: (e.g.) /join #33C3-hall-1
4. If not done already, set the proper topic for your room and take care you are announced as Signal Angel. e.g.: /topic SAAL3 | NOW: [de] Politik hacken - Kleine Anleitung zur Nutzung von Sicherheitslücken gesellschaftlicher und politischer Kommunikation (4804) | SIGNALANGEL: myNickname | STREAM: http://streaming.media.ccc.de/saal1
5. It might be useful to announce yourself as Signal Angel from time to time so that people know they can address you.
6. Keep an eye on the Twitter hashtag for your room.

Hints and Remarks

For your job a proper network connection is essential. Therefore there will be a wired cable connection nearby the speakers desk. We recommend using that connection, since there may be problems with the wireless network. Please also test your connection before starting your shift.

If you don't have a network cable, please ask watz in advance for a spare one.
