Heard about the JumpInCamp?

As many of you know, Helgi Thormar and I have been exchanging with Microsoft for a while now trying to give what we can in order to help them improve their open source approaches and ideas.

Last summer we were invited to Seattle for the Microsoft Web Developer Summit (Which was a blast thanks to Microsoft) and as soon as we came back to Europe, I got a call from Yuri from Microsoft who wanted to organize some kind of workshop/camp/developer summit for European developers and Microsoft altogether.

After having a phone chat and a few weeks planning, Yuri came back to me with an invite to the JumpIn! camp which is, in Microsoft’s words:

The JumpInCamp is designed primarily for open-source application developers who are interested in increasing their skills in a range of specific areas. Here they will be able to experiment with ways of combining open-source technologies with Microsoft products to optimize applications

Obviously there’s a tad too much marketing in there, however the point is that Microsoft is inviting 25 developers from across Europe to exchange and learn about, sorry to say, but AWESUMSAUCE things like Azure and a bunch of other cool features Microsoft has been working on.

So listen to me now European web developers, go to http://jumpincamp.com/, signup, set your application and join Helgi, me and a bunch of other open source enthusiasts in Zurich in April for a great craíc and to meet with some interesting people
