At the recent West Michigan Day of .NET, Jennifer Marsman and Josh Holmes both talked about an event coming up this July 11, 12 and 13th in Ann Arbor (and Houston too I think).

“GiveCamp is a developer program designed to allow developers, designers, DBAs and web enthusiasts to donate their time and talent to developing applications for charities.”

While the website looks like it’s lacking in some content, the plan is for the organizers to line up several charities, find out what they need done, scope those projects to a couple of days and then assign them to developers over the weekend!  I think this is a fantastic idea and plan on being there in July!
