Word has leaked out already (not that is was a big secret) so I had better blog about it myself.  We are organising a .Net Code Camp for November in Christchurch.  Currently details are a little sketchy, but I can tell you this:

Name: Code Camp Boot Camp

Theme:  Next generation, back to basics.  New releases of C#, VB, .Net, ASP and SQL are iminent.  This code camp will focus on getting up to speed with all of this, plus cover migration stratigies and many non-technology specific topics such as Architecture and Development Life Cycle.  Hopefully something for everyone - noobs, gurus, young and old.

Date: We don't yet have a fixed date, this is highly venue dependend - see Venue - but it will be a weekend (Sat/Sun) in or around Christchurch.  This excludes Show Weekend (17/18th) which is a very busy time here.

Venue: We don't yet have a venue, but are looking at a couple of strong possibilities.  There are many likely venues but finding one that is comfortable for a whole weekend and free is tricky. 

Speakers: Presenters will be mostly mainlanders with a few imports from north of the Kaikouras.  If you would like to present then please contact me ASAP.

Sessions: We have a list of possible topics that we want to see covered, but this is very dependent on the speaker and their area of expertise.  More details once we know who the speakers will be.

We have a great team of volunteers (some of whom don't yet know they have 'volunteered' :) and lots of great ideas so I'm sure this will be a very memorable event.

We are unsure of the level of attendence we can get so if you are at all interested in attending it would really help us if you pre-registered. For this and other details see http://codecamp.net.nz.
