chanc3r is confirmed, yes.
He took days off work for this.
Do we already have a speaker spot, or is he there as technical question guy for now? If he has to speak, we need to know on what.
I don't know about others, so can't comment on passes, except to say that if we add others we must have passes.
Good that Ebereon will help. So that means we have a RaspPi. Let's get that confirmed as soon as he is back.
Can you take care of the press accreditation? Or do we need to do something else. Just give me the word if you need anything from me or him.
In reverse order:
Press accreditation means a letter from a recognised press organisation. Here are the rules:
Media pass
Only actively covering, legitimate media will be considered for a media pass. Analysts, Market Researchers, Marketing/Advertising firms, etc. are not included in the Bitcoin 2014 definition of legitimate media. If you fall into this category, but are a contributor to an outlet that meets our qualifications, you must be on assignment, and provide a Letter of Assignment from your Editor. Passes will be confirmed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed solely through the EventBrite registration. Once approved for a Media pass, you will receive an e-mail confirmation from the Bitcoin 2014 team that will provide further details.
If your camera dude has press affiliation, he should be able to get his editor to sign off on a Letter of Assignment. AT5 will probably cover him, if they can use some of his material.
In order to get press accreditation, you have to get a friendly news organisation on board, or set one up yourself.
RaspPi will happen, gonna wait for Ebereon, unless someone else in Europe with RPSolar experience wants to jump in.
Or I'll just build it myself.......might need help with the Linux bits tho'.
Chanc3r: It's great that he's stepped up. Adds much needed technical depth to the team. I (or someone, but we are in the INF-COM together) should have a chat with him soon, find out what he would like to do (keynote speech, panel, q+A ) , get some background info and then get on to the BTC Foundation to get him on the program.
