The We Are Microsoft - Charity Challenge Weekend is a software development competition for a good cause.
This 3-day event matches developers with charities to develop applications for those charities. At the end of the 3 days, all of the participants will vote and the winners will be proclaimed champion coders.
The We Are Microsoft – Charity Challenge Weekend is the first kind of event that has become to be known as a Give Camp. The first event was held in January 2008, and since has been duplicated in other states with great success.
In this episode we set down with Toi Wright and Chris Koenig, the brain trust behind this event and talk about what it is, and how you can have one in your area.
Over the last several years I have been involved with the developer community that has been growing in Northwest Arkansas. After attending a Community Leadership Summit in Dallas, TX hosting by Caleb Jenkins I realized that many user group leaders struggle with the same problems, after looking around I realized that there wasn't really any resources around to help us. So I decided to start a podcast dedicated to the ones that keep user groups and technical communities going. Hopefully through open dialog and sharing we can help make it easier to keep them running and maybe even take them to the next level.
I am currently working on scheduling several of the shows and getting them ready. Please go ahead and subscribe to the feed and you won't miss a show.
