microformatsDevCamp is made possible thanks to the generosity of our corporate and individual sponsors!

Sponsorships

Help sponsor microformatsDevCamp:

For meals, we're planning on something simple like bagels+coffee for breakfast (note: Tantek will purchase supplies for Sunday morning); or pizza or indian delivery (Deedees Indian Food!). We'll arrange for sponsors to pay vendors directly...

attendees

Like all BarCamps, microformatsDevCamp is what it is because of what everyone put into it. It ran smoothly because of all of you volunteers, attendees, designers, coders, and builders.
