以前在北京的时候, 虽然没有参加过宝玉同学组织的.Net User Group 的活动,但是从日常工作中,也从宝玉同学的介绍中了解了一二。印象中, 在北京似乎是没有组织过Code Camp 的活动过。
Code Camp 是最初2004年底的时候 在开发者中逐渐成形的一种活动, 这项活动的最大特点有以下几个显著的特点.
- 由开发者社区组织,面向开发者的社区
- 永远免费
- 没有市场宣传的Session,所有Session都是Code
- 不在工作时间进行
本人在多伦多参加了两届的CodeCamp,第一年由于仅仅是以 参加者的身份参加,所以除了惊叹组织水平之高以外,也不知道该如何说些什么。
今年为了能给宝玉同学提供一些详细的信息, 身体力行的参加了今年Code Camp 的组织和筹备。除了感觉到身心疲惫以外,也体会到了开发者社区的热情。
整个的Code Camp 活动组织下来, 宛如一次小规模的TechEd , 从会场安排、讲师筛选,会务工作人员,广告宣传,等等。更难能可贵的是, 整个地区的.Net User Group 之间的互通有无,信息共享,今年的Speaker 有从千里之外赶来的,也有远从美国赶来的,而且所有的人的付出都是没有报酬的,但是他们收获的激情和信任。
每当身处其中的时候,我就在想, 我们北京的开发者社区无论是从规模,能力还是激情这些方面,都不会比多伦多的社区差。今年或者明年,我们能否也组织成功一次我们自己的CodeCamp?
