WidgetDevCampSessionIdeas

WidgetDevCamp Sessions

The DevCamp is primarily a collaborative development event, but we will have some structured sessions at the beginning to get folks off and running.

Project Suggestions and Team Setup - This will be a short session to point out some of the pre-submitted ideas, and to help get teams organized, if they want to identify like-minded participants.

Have other ideas for a session, or want to contribute to a session? Add notes here, or contact the organizers.
