How to become a speaker
All you have to do is suggest a new session for the tree above, or choose to
deliver about a suggestion that someone else made. You do this by

link. The default is for each session to have one presenter, but if you'd
like you can open your session to allow other people to also present along with
you.
Although anyone can build out nodes in the above tree, that doesn't necessarily
mean that they will stay in that same layout! The code camp staff
reserves the right to organize the tracks and sessions to best manage all the
incoming suggestions.
We certainly hope that you will want to participate in the upcoming code camp,
either as an attendee or presenter. Thanks very much for taking
a look at the site!
What is Code Camp?
The answer is actually simple. In order to use the official Code Camp name we
follow these simple protocols:
-
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.
