Static: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.

- Be at the correct hall at least 10 minutes before the event starts.
- Tell the herald that you are the assigned signal angel and take the seat which will be provided for you.

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.
