AWS Community Day Romania: the story behind
We will have an open discussion about when did we decide to organize the event, why we did it, who is the team behind it, how it went, what we learned from it and what are our future plans.

Tudor will present the creation of the website (https://aws-community.ro) and the "tools" he created for the event.
Lucian will discuss about the "easy infrastructure" for the website and about the organisational details for the entire event.
Raul will cover what it means to select a lineup of speakers for this kind of event and what's the feeling of being a Keynote speaker.
