Camp OSCON Attendee Party (sponsored by Microsoft and O'Reilly Media)

We’re swapping last year’s clown shoes for Camp OSCON t-shirts at this year’s attendee party. You don’t have to worry about sewing in nametags and forget those long bus rides—just join us in Exhibit Hall A in the Convention Center. Camp OSCON will challenge you to earn your prize ribbons in archery, those hysterical sack races, and lots of other games and crafts. Fuel yourself on s’mores, hot dogs, burgers, and other camp menu classics. And instead of singing about 99 bottles of beer, you can have a real one in your hand (or any other refreshing beverage of choice). This is an O’Reilly party, so you know we have some surprises in the works. Consider Camp OSCON our thanks to you for joining us at OSCON this year. This is the camp you wish your parents had sent you to. You won’t want to miss this; trust us.

Please make sure to bring your OSCON badge, as you will not be let in to the party without it. Registration on Tuesday, July 17 closes at 6:00pm so make sure to pick up your badge prior to attending the party.

Dunk Tank for Charity

It wouldn’t be a true summer camp if we didn’t do something to give back to the community. We’ll be raising funds for Free Geek, a Portland area non-profit that provides technology to those in need, by giving you a chance to dunk a member of the Open Source community in exchange for a cash donation to Free Geek. So far we have several members of our program committee who will take the plunge for this good cause:

• Sarah Novotny
• Fred Trotter
• Jesse Vincent
• Selena Deckelmann
• Yarko Tymciurak
• Danese Cooper
• Steve Holden
