I remain in awe of how active our AWS community in Sub-Saharan Africa has remained through such trying times, and now that life is starting to go back to normal - it's great to see how consistent it's been in terms of hosting AWS related events.
So what's already taken place in the month of July - and what's still coming up?

4/ 27 July - Pretoria User Group
Quoting from this group's "About" page, the Pretoria user group is the group for you if you are either curious about what AWS is, or want to start using it, or are a seasoned veteran. This group hosts a wide range of speakers covering a wide range of topics.
Coming up virtually, on July 27th is this talk on "How not to start a side hustle on AWS". This looks set to be an interesting talk, and judging by the number of signups already - it has sparked a lot of interest already.
