Last month's presentation

IndyGiveCamp


 givecamp logo

IndyGiveCamp is coming soon. TFS SIG Leader Paul Hacker is leading the charge to establish IndyGiveCamp.

A little history: GiveCamp started out as a stand-alone volunteer effort called the We Are Microsoft Charity Challenge Weekend that allowed developers, designers, DBAs and web development enthusiasts to donate their time and talent developing new web applications for local-area Dallas charities. 

The event was held over a 3 day period from January 18-20, 2008 and attracted 82 developers, 18 charities and 15 volunteers from all over (Dallas), including 17 MVPs and local influencers.  It touched not only the local community but also struck a chord with developers far and wide. The event was so impactful that .NET developer communities are organizing similar events in many cities, including Indianapolis.

The IndyGiveCamp website will be established soon to accept proposals.
