------------------ Call for Terminal Room Volunteers ------------

The Terminal Room will return at the San Antonio Usenix conference.  If you

terminal room will be open:

      12 Friday      7:30 am - 2:00 pm

An interested applicant should be able to (minimally):

    * Answer questions on use of terminal room equipment.
      Manuals on terminal/modem/printer operation will be provided.

    * Manage a queue (of people) waiting to use the equipment.

If you are interested in working, please fill in the following and
return it to podet@usenix.org.  All applications must be received by

Your 10 hours of work will entitle you to free registration for the
Technical Talks ONLY!  You will need to make other arrangements for
transportation, accomodation, and tutorial registration.

I will send an acknowledgement within a week of receiving your application.

    hours available for work (and flexibility of those hours...note that
    we are adding some early morning hours on tutorial days, so I am hoping
    to find some volunteers who are willing to work the early shift)
