This weekend (October 21st - October 23rd, 2011) is the first annual CMAP GiveCamp to take place at UMBC's Information and Engineering Building. This event begins on Friday, October 21, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. What is GiveCamp - it's an opportunity for the local technical community to “code for charity”. It is a weekend-long event where software developers, designers, and database administrators donate their time to create custom software for non-profit organizations. Since its inception in 2007, the National GiveCamp program has provided benefits to over 150 charities, with a value of developer and designer time exceeding $1,000,000 in services!
This is CMAP's entree' into planning and holding this event and it's the first GiveCamp to take place in the Baltimore region. I am on the board of CMAP and I am very proud to be involved with this event in which nearly 25 local charities are participating. So much hard work has gone into this and I can't wait to see the results. I am also proud to state that AIS, my employer, is supporting this event.
