Weekly Link Roundup 2008-12-24

As promised during my last roundup, I’m going to start doing these on Wednesday’s.  And since Christmas is tomorrow, the season is on my mind:

10 things for non-coders to do with free software over Christmas: Interesting list of stuff to do; I particularly like the final point (even though it’s tough for me to do).

Give Camps: Now that I’ve gotten SQL Saturday rolling, I really want to keep my eye on the next iteration of user group camps: a give camp.  Although the main site appears to be down, here’s a couple of links to give camps in the past.

  • We Are Microsoft:  check out their charity listing page, and look at the projects they want to do in a weekend.
  • Ann Arbor Give Camp: This is from their 2008 event.  The cool thing is that they had a satellite camp in Knoxville, TN.  (I’m beginnng to think very highly of that dev community there).
  • Twin Cities Give Camp: If you’re near Minneapolis/St. Paul area around April 26 & 27th, here’s a camp for you!

And finally, a couple of different versions of the Programmer’s Christmas:

Merry Christmas, everybody!
