Yes, 5 years already! The first AWS Meetup that Martijn van Dongen organized was at the Xebia office in Amsterdam. So for the 5 year anniversary of the AWS Meetup it is only fitting to host it at the place where it all begun.

On November 1st, 2022 Xebia organized the TED Style XKE. The event was hosted in De Flint in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.

On the AWS Community Day I gave a short talk about CodeCommit. I asked the audience to discuss what they are missing when they use CodeCommit. So for me that is notifications! And in my talk I showed how you can use the AWS APIs to get these notifications. In the end there all sort of events in your accounts that you can hook into. CodeCommit generates these events as well!

My first AWS Meetup User group presentation. I was a long time participant and had good contact with Martijn van Dongen over the years. So at one day he approached me and asked me to submit a talk for one of the meetups. Having to attend almost all meetups, saying no was not really an answer.

In March 2012, WoodWing organized the WoodWing Xperience 2012. Both WoodWing’s customers and partners where attending this packed conference. Back then I focussed on delivering our products through the public cloud.
