It helps us advance, move forward and never give up.<br \/>\nIf you take a look at this <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Romanian_inventors_and_discoverers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list\u00a0 of Romanian inventors<\/a> and their amazing work you will see a lot of focus on engineering, medicine, mathematics and many more. We\u2019ll let you study the list at your own convenience, but we\u2019re sure that you\u2019ll be able to find out something new and interesting!<\/p>\n<h2>Romania: 100 years of history, and the legacy beyond that<\/h2>\n<p>In 2018 Romania is celebrating the Great Union Centennial. 100 years since the Great Union which unified the country following the dreams of our ancestors. Different areas of our country were organized as smaller states under different empires\u2019 rule but felt united for being part of the same heritage. After centuries of trying and fighting to unite our people, the year 1918 was the moment in time when all Romanians were able to unite and create a modern state for ourselves known as Romania.<\/p>\n<p>History is built by all the people that lived on this land, and that helped build the country. People who didn&#8217;t give up when the first dreams of Union were dismissed. The Romanians kept fighting for their wish until they made it happen. Beyond the story of Dracula, the great mountains, the beautiful road of Trans-Fagarasan, the homemade drinks, the love and the attention you receive around, beyond all of this are people that continue to build history.<\/p>\n<p>Now, coming back to the realm of WordCamp. If you were patient enough to go through the list of Romanian inventors, you may have read about <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Justin_Capr%C4%83\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justin Capr\u0103<\/a>. He is an engineer and inventor, and the believed inventor of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jetpack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jetpack<\/a>. The Jetpack he invented propels you onward and upward, just like the Jetpack Plugin, one of our WordCamp sponsors for this year. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h2>WordPress in Romania<\/h2>\n<p>WordPress is by far the most popular platform used online (30% of the entire INTERNET) with more than 20 million sites published worldwide and close to 200 thousand sites using it in Romania, that represents 20% of all sites registered as .ro on our local TLD (top level domain registrar).
