Lack of resources is rarely a problem. I remember a teacher tell me that "not enough time" is rarely an excuse for not doing homework because at every waking moment we're prioritizing one task over others. Thus, companies do not lack people or money. They are deliberately prioritizing the rest of the world over you.
That really is not true. This year's edition scaled up from 1 event to 10. We want to take care of each event and make it awesome and not just organize a ton of events that are not fun at all.
I should however single out AWS. Amazon have two sales engineers here in Perth.
Perth, of all places! Kudos, Amazon.
