This year, the International Conference on Global Software Engineering
(www.icgse.org) will be hosted by the University of Limerick, Ireland.
The University of Limerick is a young, energetic and enterprising
University with a proud record of innovation in education and
excellence in research and scholarship, situated on a superb riverside
campus with the River Shannon as a unifying focal point.
The organising committee is seeking a number of enthusiastic and
motivated people to join the ICGSE 2009 Student Volunteer Team. The
student volunteers will assist in the practical organisation and
running of the conference. In exchange for their work, they will be
rewarded by a number of benefits including:
Free participation in the conference, workshops and tutorials(subject
to agreement with the workshop and tutorial organisers)

The volunteers will have to cover their own travel and accommodation
costs. Accommodation is available in the Cappavilla student village on
campus at a convenient rate and an informal mailing list will be
created to allow all the volunteers to organise travel and
accommodation together. Limerick city is served by a number of low-
cost carriers through Shannon International Airport. The volunteers
will congregate at the main conference venue, the Computer Science and
Information Systems (CSIS) building on the University of Limerick
Campus on the evening of the Sunday, July 12th and will be engaged in
