 # Volunteering @ EuroPython
 
-Python owes much of its success to open source and the community surrounding it. In the same spirit, EuroPython is organised and run by volunteers from the Python community. Alas, we're only a few and need your help to make the show run as smoothly as possible. Each year we are joined by our awesome attendees as volunteers to help in running this wonderful conference. This page explains some of the ways you can help us.
