You can stay all night. However, showers are not available.
Yes. If you would like to form your own team of 5 people, that would be very helpful. Please keep in mind that each team must have at least 1 Developer, 1 DBA and 1 Designer. The Developers will be responsible for programming the front-end and the business logic layer. The DBA will be responsible for the tables, stored procedures and the data access layer. The Designer will be responsible for creating the master page and the cascading style sheet.
When you register, please enter your team's name in the Team Name field. Please confirm that everyone on your team has completed an application.
We will be providing each charity with all of the software they need to maintain, update and extend their applications. There will be a limited number of licenses available for third-party components.
We will be looking for sponsorship from CMS companies to provide us with licenses to their products

The whole weekend! The main event starts Friday evening and we (Give Camp Organizers) will be there 24/7 to help support you. However, we do not have any shower facilities.
Yes, that would work best. We don't have the resources to supply a loaner laptop/computer to all of the volunteers.
Please do your best to complete everything by 4:00 pm Sunday afternoon. We'd like to use the last hour or so to get together and show everybody the apps created over the weekend.
No, this event is about the charities. It is acceptable after the demo of the application to congratulate a team on a job well done, but this is not a competition.
You can only use technology that has been released. It is highly recommended someone on your team is experienced with the technology you are working with. While this is a great learning opportunity for developers, please remember this event is for the charities and you do have to deliver a working application at the end of the event.
Fun & Exciting!
