Conference booklet summary and bio
Article for conference booklet: 
A panel discussion, that walks through the countries in the region and makes a short sum up of the current community status: the events that are being organized, the localized resources, the member bases and the events that will be hold in the near future. With representatives from Czech Republic (Jakub Suchy), Romania (Radu Ticiu), Poland (Pawel Gawlowski), Croatia (Slaven Bacelic), Austria (Christian Ziegler) and Hungary (Kristof Van Tomme) we should be able to give a good overview for the region. If want to know more about Drupal events in the region, if you want to know where you can meet prospective Drupal customers or if you think there are not enough meetups in your city, you should not miss out on this session.
