At the end of their shift: We evaluate how things went and what questions are open, thank, ask if they'd like to do another shift (if we want them to) and send them off with a food coupon.
Finding new answers
When the answer to a question hasn't been found, we use the Secret List of teams to contact them and try to get an answer from them. We check the info-desk-pad for open questions.
Opening up and closing shop
at 10:00 we open the Info tent together with the other desks, boot up the computer and all. In the evening, we close off and hand off the lost & found to Security. Drop the lost and found off in the stewards tent.
Getting extra help
When its really busy, we might ask Volunteers to get us a third helpdesker.
Incident management
If there's a larger-scale incident (calamity), we either get questions from visitors first, or the event management will notify the Info team. If you get the impression from visitors something is wrong, notify the Info team, they'll contact Event management. Boekenwuurm, DWizzy, mr_seeker will get on site; Boekenwuurm will handle the media, mr_seeker angels, DWizzy press.
We'll hold of giving a statement but will tell people: "We're aware of the situation and handling it. We will update you with more information soon." Ask people for their patience, recognise their uncertainty.
Press/publication of incident statement
as soon as the statement by Event management team is there:
- on the website ✏️This page has a TODO
- on the wiki
- twitter etc.
- info displays, heralds
