Helping shy people get involved

Standing up with a mic and introducing a project is very daunting for some, and trying to track down the writer of a project card by asking around may be equally intimidating.

For introducing projects and helping people get connected, we could have a few volunteers go through the tables on Friday night asking people about their projects. These volunteers would be tasked with finding attendees who have a project they would like to collaborate on, but are not comfortable to get up with a microphone in front of everyone. They would find out what level of exposure the attendees are comfortable with, which might range from just mentioning the project and keeping them anonymous, to standing with them to provide moral support while they present - whatever support they need to feel comfortable enough to get their projects some exposure.

The volunteers would then be the official contact points for people who want to work on those projects, and could handle introductions and try to provide any other support to help people get collaborating.
