AWS User Group Toolkit

A community GitHub organisation with small open source tools and templates for running AWS User Group meetups, started around the AWS User Group Vienna.

The AWS User Group Toolkit collects the practical bits behind running a meetup: a header image generator, a PNG to SVG converter, badge and name tag templates, a welcome message, a small website, and the knowledge base and Sessionize connector for OTTO, our event-planning agent idea. The templates describe it as a grassroots community project started by the AWS Meetup Vienna, not affiliated with or endorsed by AWS. Most repos were written by Philipp Bergsmann. My own share is the OTTO knowledge base, the first version of the Austria slide templates, and a few smaller commits. The org also holds two forks of a GameDay event repo, which are test copies only.
