Signal Angels

Signal Angel HowTo/CheatSheet: https://md.schroedingers-bit.net/4f-SGWvoSnqdTuQXSjL66w

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 trilader who is in charge of that department.

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 stage manager that you are the assigned signal angel and take the seat which will be provided for you.
4. Establish your network connection and be ready for questions. (see also Remarks below)

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.
