Code Camp 2007

	Calgary Code Camp 2007
	Saturday, April 28, 2007 - Saturday, April 28, 2007

	Thank You! Veni, vedi, codi... We came, we saw, we coded. The second Calgary Code Camp has come and gone. We had just over 100 attendees show up at our doors on Saturday, April 28, 2007. We would like to offer a big thanks to: Our sponsors who donated $20,000 worth of prizes as well as enough money to rent the facilities and A/V equipment. Our speakers for generously giving up their time and many for travelling long distances to share their knowledge with everyone. Our organizing committee - James, Terry, Jean-Paul, Bil, and John - for helping to make this event possible. Everyone who attended because without you, there would have been no code camp! Individual presenters are making their sessions slides and materials available from their blogs. Please visit their websites (linked to from the Speakers page) for more information. For a visual retrospective, check out this Flickr set for some great photos. Thanks again, everyone, and see you next year!

The Code Camp Manifesto

By and For the Developer Community
Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.

Always Free
Code Camps are always free for attendees.

Community Developed Material
The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.

No Fluff – only Code
Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.

Community Ownership
The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.

Never occur during work hours
We need to understand that many times people can’t leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is that they always occur on weekends.
