CodeCampServer OSS project call for participation

Officially announcing a new open-source project, CodeCampServer.  As usual, you can subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up-to-date with more information about this here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jeffreypalermo.  The mission of the first release is to provide an ASP.NET MVC Framework solution that can serve as the CodeCamp website for a user group.  The project will be able to track and manage multiple conferences for a single user group.  This project is a consumer of the MvcContrib project. 

At this point, we have a project workspace on GoogleCode, and we have a backlog.  Feel free to participate in the project's discussion list and suggest stories.  We'll add them to the backlog and prioritize appropriately.  We are intentionally focusing the release 1 in order to get some usable software out quickly.  We will be maintaining a healthy code base with full NUnit test coverage.  You will be able to track the project's CI with CCTray by referencing the CCNet server on build.codecampserver.org soon (after I set it up).  We already have the NAnt automated build in place, but the domain isn't set up yet.

Ben Scheirman is one of the lead developers on the project, and I'm serving as project coordinator and developer.  Eric Hexter has set up the CCNet build.  The easiest way to contribute is to grab a high-priority story off the backlog, communicate on the discussion list that you want to work on it, and then work toward submitting a patch.  If you are interested in becoming a committer, then please start by committing patches so we can get to know each other.

When you link to the project, please link to http://codecampserver.org/.

Yo Jeff...

  Here's the first contribution... I bought a domain some time ago called codecampinfo.com.... My goal was to provide a clearing house for ALL that is CodeCamp....

So... I volunteer to host the web site and database for this....

@Rod,

Great.  We also have codecampserver.org as a redirect to the project workspace.  A grand vision that might come with version 2 or 3 is to have the project able to host multiple conferences for multiple groups from one installation.  In that way, we could stand up codecampinfo.com as a hosting place for all user groups and all code camps (for those who want to).  Just an idea.

Look at www.bostondotnet.org/.../CodeCampSchedule.html as it is a listing of recent code camps, as well as Code Camp basics et al.

Having a central hosting place for code camps would be great, but i think the bigger areas to focus on are being able to provide an easy way for:

1. speakers to signup

2. attendees to signup

3. organizers to manage the schedule (and pubish it as both an RSS feed and in ical format)

4. people to find different code camps

A few years ago, David Silverlight developed a project that allowed attendants to submit the evaluation of sessions online:
