JaviVázquez

I can speak Spanish and English, I have a cell phone… so I will help Quim Gil being a kind of press contact before and during GUADEC.

Trying to push and getting things done, we need help as soon as possible, so I have sent an email to guadec-list asking for volunteers. If you are able to help with some of the tasks listed, please let me know at jvazquez@igalia.com

The email with the tasks and deadlines:
Hi guys!,

in the press team, we have defined a list of tasks. We would thank a
lot your help in any of them.

The point is that GUADEC is already there, so we need to match
volunteers and tasks as soon as possible.

* Deadline to any of the tasks: Wednesday 7th

I will translate to Spanish whatever you write and send it to our media
partners, press contacts through our sponsors and press contacts here in
Spain.

If you need to get in touch with any of our VIPs, I will give you their
contact and help with the proccess. If you need more information, I will
supply it.

help a couple of weeks ago. If you still are able to do it, please pick
