Some of you may have heard about the Utah Code Camp coming up in a few weeks:

http://utcodecamp.com/

As far as I can tell, Code Camp is something to come out of a large
software company located in Redmond, WA., which warrants some
suspicion.  There is a Code Camp manifesto
(http://www.bostondotnet.org/CodeCamp/default.aspx/CodeCamp/CodeCampManifesto.html)
which states things like:

* By and For the Developer Community
* Always Free [as in beer]
* Community Developed Material
* No Fluff only Code
* Community Ownership

Now, if that doesn't have Open Source and Linux written all over it, I
don't know what does.

I'm going to attempt to be a speaker at this event, and I would ask
that you join me in representing Linux and Open Source.  I believe
this is a great opportunity to get in front of group of developers who
have little exposure to the Open Source community.  I think we should
be able to at least fill one full track; we have so much to talk
about, e.g. "What's GNU," "Intro to Linux," "Beginning Bash
scripting," "Open Source Web Development," just to name a few off the
top of my head.

So, how about it?

Jason
