Last Friday I was thinking - "I this weekend will be a very exciting one!" I did not realize then exactly how exciting it will actually be. I was one of the organizers of the premier CodeCamp event here in Bulgaria. Together with Stefan and Martin we took care for organizing the event willing to see will it be useful and if so make it a regular gathering.
The format of the event was something that we somehow managed to arrange perfectly - an informal lectures with a good mix of discussion from any kind. Gathering a bunch of people with different interest and tastes for technology actually allows for every one having some knowledge to share it. Martin wrote a good blog post discussing the subject that you can review to get a general view of the things :).
I must express my deepest gratitude towards the lectors that presented such interesting topics :
Emil Stoychev, Hristo Iliev, Ivaylo Bratoev, Vladimir Dimitrov and Peter Velichkov. Thanks guys! You were all awesome and I learned a lot of new things from you. I hope we will meet again and have such a fun again.
Despite the good lectures and useful discussions, there were a few drawbacks that we will take care to remove next time. I won't explain in details what were all lectures about. You will pretty soon be able to see them online and read the content.
Only one thing that's worth mentioning - if you or someone you know ever need to know how to start a diesel jeep after being 2 nights in a freezing cold with exhausted battery using a newspaper, don't hesitate to contact me I'll tell you the whole story ;),

Thanks guys for organizing this event! Not only we had a great fun, but we also made useful contacts and exchanged valuable knowledge. I'm looking forward to the next CodeCamp.
Glad to here you had a great time. We will take care that the next camp have better venue with at least some kind of internet cnnectivity (probably limited as the purpose is to listen to the lectors and participate in discussions). This time we had absolutely no internet and when it was really necessary we weren't able to access it.
