About the Challenge

The AWS Community in India has grown massively over the past years. We now span across 25 cities in 20 states, and we have hosted hundreds of virtual, in-person and hybrid events.

A developer community helps developers, techies, professionals and students with events, forums, networking and more with an aim to improve and ease the technical standpoint of developers. Running the developer community such as AWS User Group India involves a lot of efforts from organisers and volunteers to host events and drive initiatives that benefits the larger community.  This hackathon is launched to invite the community members to contribute solutions and ideas that might help the developer community to engage better with the audience, and to make it an even better experience for all the tech enthusiasts and developer. Although open to all interested participants, does expect the participants to have some level of familiarity with building solutions on AWS.

Objective

The objective of this hackathon is to develop tools and solutions leveraging AWS Services that will make the experience of both managing and being a part of developer communities catering to the needs of organisers, community leaders, members and all.
