Ottawa IT Camp Survey - Please respond by Dec 13
Charles Wiebe
Hello All
2012 marks year 5 of the Ottawa IT Camp – yes, it goes by fast. Our first year had a huge turn-out, but as years go by, the turn-out has gone down. To that end, I would like to get a survey up and running before Christmas asking people what they would like to see at IT Camp this year.
The past few years, the camp is slanted to 200-300 level courses – that may be the issue with attendance(?).
Before I create this survey, I need your input to make this survey understandable. Please review and send back to me by Tuesday, Dec 13, 2011.
Thanks…Charlie

Phone twice? … and what is wrong with that?
I would extend the choices to six and add break it into two groups – primary and secondary choices.
Once we have an actual date we should blast as many possible channels with the information. I tend to belief that we have not spread the word far enough and soon enough.
So, the other thing we should collect is what channels should the information on the IT Camp be announced.

I would add to the Dev choices
-Refactoring, to change or not to change (and how)
-Unit Testing, did I get that right?
-MVC the new asp.net
-VS tips’n’tricks, get more out of your tools!
-Will it Blend? Make your XAML Blendable
-Data Binding the XAML way
-EF isn’t THAT hard!
