I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the volunteers who have helped make the WorldJam events run so smoothly over the past weeks and months:

• Laura!! Cedric, Cathy, Kath, Jono, Jez, John W, Emily, Sarah, Viktor, Sam, Jeroen, Astrid, Karen, Rich, Angelique, Roger, plus Simon White and Tony Mountfield (on website contributions), Brian Pratt and Mark Kozu (on the US world jam evangelising/server setups) + Alex Smith (Logo’s)

The time and the effort put in by everyone has helped us create something that never existed before, and it is something we can all be really proud of.Even with lockdowns ending in many parts of the world, I don’t see any need for WorldJam itself to end. The goal is to continue the weekly Jam Nights for the foreseeable future. The planning and organising of all the details, however, is more than I can do all on my own. With that in mind I have made an administrative team of people willing to help with the details of organizing the show and coordination with third parties (i.e. The Floor and Groovy Gecko). The current administrative team is

Simon (me), Laura, Astrid, Sam, Jono

I would like to specifically thank the members of this team for making sure the event went ahead while I took a short holiday.Responsibilities for the admin group are still being worked out, but the obvious ones are:

• Involved in minutia details/discussions with TF/GG (or any other future sponsor or collaborator)
• Make decisions on the organisation and running of World Jam shows and events
• Make decisions on technology choices and implementations for both the running of events and coordination of them (in collaboration with the wider technical volunteers)
• Agreeing on roles within the admin team and sourcing and ensuring volunteer operational roles are trained
• Accountable for ensuring a show organiser is set for each show
• Accountable for choosing/assigning show hosts

Thanks,

Simon
