Time Commitments
We request that all volunteers participate from the pre-show meeting to teardown. Dates may change depending on network needs. Each volunteer will be asked to provide an approximate time commitment before the event.
Hot Stage
Volunteers are also invited to help in this important stage of the Internet InteropNet construction. Tasks may include cable testing, ped installation, system configuration, testing and troubleshooting, etc.
TechWeb will provide lunch and dinner during Hot Stage and all meals during the event. No other volunteer expenses are covered. Team Lead expenses are covered per individual offer letter.
