[Inpycon] Call for Volunteers | PyCon India 2018

[Arushit Mudgal]

Hello,

I want to volunteer for the upcoming event but I couldn't see any technical
assistance needed. I will be spending my summer in Delhi and although the
event requires more of non-technical work, I wanted to know are there any
technical volunteer required.

Thank you
