Meetup #22: Silicon to Cloud: Embedded Israel & AWS Annapurna Labs

Welcome to our 22nd (published) meetup, kindly hosted by Amazon Annapurna Labs.

First, important notes:
Double registration alert:
Registration is mandatory and *will be checked* so please make sure you RSVP here, and in addition register in https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSegZGHY7GwoZzxEWXSsLiqQpzJEbLjklZp66iFDfJ1mCLNczw/viewform?usp=dialog
You absolutely have to register in this link, and carefully read the event guidelines there. It is IMPORTANT and we want you, by all means, to avoid any inconveniences (due to being lazy and not reading what I wrote CAREFULLY).
Don't lie, don't write partial details, don't play games, and don't pretend you are oh-so-secret. You are not. If you really think you are, and plan to attend, reach out to Ron in private, and he will make that decision for you.

You can still submit a talk - and we are looking forward to your lightning talks. I gave an example of what a good lightning talk is in the Toka meetup (that we were unfortunately forbidden from publishing online) . Use the CFP, Luke. And please do it before May 25th. If you do it after it you will happily be considered for the next events.

Last, but not least:
Do not unsubscribe from updates - if you don't read the updates or otherwise follow our community rules, you will meet the consequences.
Everyone, including e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e MUST RSVP to the meetup event, and when time comes - fill the registration form. Respect your hosts!
