    - Stickers (Currently finalizing designs)
- Are enough people available in the office this week to accept deliveries and do small tasks on them as needed (e.g. fill the survival kits with stuff, remove labels, deliver crops to printworks, etc.)
- Expecting to be lightly (max.1000EUR) over total budget. Acceptable?
- We are once again missing the current status for T-shirts and string bags from Printworks. Please, someone follow up in person by the end the week. Questions for Printworks are:

#### Volunteers (Rose)
- Welcome Loie! 
- 48 volunteers in Telegram group
- Goals for this week:
- - calculate hours needed in total, devide by volunteers we have & split into shifts (see where we need to adjust volunteer needs)
  - what are the 10 volunteers for during judging? (chasing teams, timekeeping presentations, lots of work really)
  - Experiences team: Please confirm Culture Room numbers  
  - https://office.ethberl.in/sheet/#/2/sheet/edit/8iVS5dYb-6Ra9pX3VVYI6xPi/
- send a message to volunteers including:
  - share shift sheet & descritptions of shifts with Volunteers -> Let them chose their preferred shifts (one week)
  - how many hours we expect from them for full weekend
  - date/time/location of orientation

#### Mentors (Anna, Caspar, Kirill)
- caspar: can't make it today unfortuntately, will catch up later with doc
- update email to all mentors going out today
    - claim voucher if you haven't already, email me if expired
    - sign in/out
    - be mindful as a group to always try to have some mentors on-site
    - helpq + matrix chats
- @Afri: status on signup for helpq? Do you need any help from my side?

#### Judging (Nich, Jacob, Ksenia)
- Judge list / allocation to tracks and meta awards almost final
- Voting:
    - most likely will go with linear voting + shielding instead of QV!
- test run of chosen solution next week (most likely snapshot linear vote + shutter shield)
- QUESTION: If we do linear, we think it might make sense to give judges a few more tokens than attendees (e.g. attendees 100, judges 200. still not a big impact since we have 36 judges and 950 attendees)
- Writing an orientation email to judges regarding logistics
