Hello Code Campers, The next SoCal Code Camp is coming up fast at the end of next month so it's time to look at your calendar and mark the date. June 25th & 26th we will again be taking over the UCSD Extension campus for what promises to be the biggest event so far. We have over 100 sessions posted now with something for everyone, if you have not looked lately you should!
Even with so many sessions posted we have room for more! Get a session submitted or let your favorite presenter know about SoCal Code Camp and ask them to present. With the support of all the great sponsors (http:// www.socalcodecamp.com/sponsors.aspx), we will again be having a Geek Dinner, which will be a great opportunity to get to know your fellow geeks! Please take the time to give all of our sponsors a big thank you! As always, we can always use help at the event, so if you can volunteer (http://www.socalcodecamp.com/contact.aspx?c=Volunteering) a little time please let us know on the SoCal Code Camp website.

Submit sessions here: http://www.socalcodecamp.com/sessions.aspx We have room for over 150 sessions and speakers are already starting to submit their sessions! So far our SoCal code camps have been among the best attended in all code camps...and we think it is because we have a vibrant technical community hungry for diverse knowledge...so even if you want to deliver just 1 talk... we are happy to have you... but if you want to do a few talks... or a whole track with your friends... please feel free!!! Also, if you can tell other smart GEEKS you know that can speak on any subject be it .NET, Java, PHP, Web Services, SOA, Web Development, Development Process, game development and the list goes on...please do! Session Information: If you have never presented at a Code Camp or User Group this is a great way to get started and share what you know with the world. It's not surprising that most people find public speaking quite scary but we will be happy to help you get prepaid or even team up with someone who can help you. We will email you when we start building the schedule and get any hard restrictions you may have. Sessions are 60 minute in length including Q&A If you need more time please create a multi-part session You can use whatever slide template you like You can offer talks on anything you like and think the community would be interested in No sales pitches, just hard core substance for your peers please -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
