There are those that do, and those that don’t. Seldom do you
get an opportunity to help those in need, now is your chance. For the third
time in my life, I’m part of a GiveCamp, a weekend long event where Developers,
DBA and other technologist gather to work for charities. Now is the time show
where you fit, Walk the Walk, or Talk the Talk.
That intro might have been harsh, nonetheless when you have
Colorado charities, asking for help because they don’t have the infrastructure,
the funding or the personnel, I’m lost for words. In the past, we have given
food banks a facelift online, we have introduced an original application in
efforts to assist combating human trafficking, we have written applications for
non-profit organizations for blind children, youth mentoring and service
programs for boys and girls.
The next iteration of GiveCamp in Colorado will be held in
Greeley Colorado, May 4th – 6th, 2012. We have received several
requests from area charities, requesting for assistance. We can’t help them all
– unless we have the skill set from volunteers. We are looking for an array of talents.
Obviously, we can use developers, developers
from all walks of life, C#, PHP, Ruby. If you have experience with Content
Management Systems, have some knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash or Silverlight.
We can work with various databases, platforms and frameworks. However, it doesn’t
have to stop there. If you are more involved in everyday business, we also need
Project Managers, Technical Writers and Software Testers. You don’t have to be
technical to volunteer; you can imagine the three day event can require lots of
hands. You can register now, and volunteer for GiveCamp.
You can get all the details of Colorado GiveCamp on our site
or you can register directly on our event page. Consider it, but don’t think
about it too long, Colorado charities need our help
