Special thanks to @underwhelmed and @peschkaj for traveling to attend the Iowa Code Camp!

Open Giving

During the Iowa Code Camp, I had a chance to get involved with the Open Giving project. From the CodePlex, here's a brief overview:

An effort to create a complete registration system to create events and for volunteers to register for those events. Helps make it easier for organizations to enable people to give back to their communities.

Basically, it's an open source software project to create a *free* event management system for volunteer organizations. This is a really great cause and I'm glad I've had a chance to help. If you're interested in helping, please leave me a message and I'll put you in touch with the appropriate folks.
