Does your idea of a perfect weekend involve writing code, eating pizza, and working with other local-area IT professionals? Well, if you’re a developer, designer, DBA, etc. and you enjoy at least one of the three, this event might be for you.
The Central Texas GiveCamp event allows area developers to volunteer their time to help local non-profit and charity organizations. I participated a couple of years ago (unfortunately, not for the whole weekend code-a-thon), and had a great time. I think it was a great opportunity to meet other developers and to help design and implement solid technical solutions on a tight timeframe (and who isn’t used to doing that?).
For more information, visit the Central Texas GiveCamp site.

Will you be hosting a 2014 camp? If so, when? Thanks,

Rhonda: Thanks for asking! I don’t know about plans for a 2014 or future GiveCamp in Austin, but I would recommend keeping an eye on the main GiveCamp site at http://givecamp.org/ and via Twitter https://twitter.com/atxgivecamp/. Hopefully, one of those sites will be updated soon with more information.
