Teams
Many of the on-site tasks are passed along by word of mouth, so jump in when someone asks for volunteers - an extra hand is always welcome. Visit the announcement board on the downer terrace for tasks and volunteering that you can schedule into, like manning the registration table, setting up equipment for workshops, helping with directions, fetching supplies, and everything else you can imagine. But also organizing and all the preparations are done by volunteers only. You can be part of that, too!
Easy:
Get involved
Get involved in organising and running hillhacks. Follow the ongoing things in the mailinglist, our irc chatroom and follow the ongoing things and conversations there. For other sorts of volunteer activities, please read the participate and howto pages to see the different ways in which you can contribute to hillhacks. Also check out our trello board (not very well maintained) for things you can help out with. For more details on working with our trello setup, refer to this pad.
In case of any queries, feel free to contact us.

Team Overview
There are plenty of things to care of, so we tried to form various teams, each working on different topics, but all of them working hand-in-hand with each other, too.
Just briefly listening the teams here. If you want to get in contact, join the IRC or write us an email - if you are on site already, speak to any of the names mentioned down there. The one in brackets haven't arrived yet, but will be reachable via IRC and/or mail.
PS: “teams” not necessarily means that there is a proper team yet. Sometimes it also needs to be seen as a “ToDo”, like the design-team ;) Also feel free to add a new team for any topic if you like!
