Fri 7/16 – Sun 7/18
Geeks are feeling charitable these days. Just look at what the geeks of LeanDog are doing: They’re hosting a 3-day event — Cleveland GiveCamp — where they create custom software for local nonprofit organizations at no charge. Volunteers and charities are still needed.
Info:
GiveCamp is a weekend-long event where software developers, designers, and database administrators donate their time to create custom software for non-profit organizations. This custom software could be a new website for the nonprofit organization, a small data-collection application to keep track of members, or a application for the Red Cross that automatically emails a blood donor three months after they’ve donated blood to remind them that they are now eligible to donate again. The only limitation is that the project should be scoped to be able to be completed in a weekend.
During GiveCamp, developers are welcome to go home in the evenings or camp out all weekend long. There are usually food and drink provided at the event. There are sometimes even game systems set up for when you and your need a little break! Overall, it’s a great opportunity for people to work together, developing new friendships, and doing something important for their community.
The camp will be hosted @ LeanDog — 1151 N. Marginal Rd.
