Greetings.
I'm hoping to engage with the people in Info and Outreach who
are working on an initiative to improve volunteer coordination
(Eric's idea for a new working group) to get some assistance with
energy infrastructure. I mentioned some of this in an earlier post,
so sorry for the redundancy, but I'm trying to formalize the list of
immediate needs and am posting it here for feedback if any.
I'm volunteering to train, if we can get volunteers.
--: We need people who can:
      -> Put a battery on the solar panel charger in the morning.
      -> Adjust the panel position during the day to get maximum sun.
      -> Notice when a battery reaches full charge, so it can be
         labeled "charged", stored in the generator tent and replaced
         on the solar panel with another battery needing to be charged.
      -> Walk a re-charged battery over to Medical, Kitchen, or wherever
         when theirs is running low.
      -> Open and hang out in the generator tent to help people
         charge things and show them how to pedal-charge safely
         if they are inclined to donate volts (many people are!)

IMHO, if we could put this kind of human/volunteer infrastructure
in place soon, it would be an awesome camp environmental improvement.
