 ### Volunteer Roles Overview
 
-Volunteer roles within the OS SIG offer flexible ways to contribute according to your availability and interests. Volunteers can participate remotely, in person during the Hackathon and OHBM meeting, or through a combination of both. When you sign up as a volunteer, we will discuss together how you would like to contribute and what tasks fit your schedule. Please note that attending OHBM in person is not a requirement for volunteers, and registration fees are not covered by the OS SIG. Below are some examples of volunteer roles and tasks to give you an idea of how you can contribute to the OS SIG.
