Things to bring:
-
Sleeping bag and pillow. We will designate a "quiet room" for you to sleep in.
-
Food if you have special dietary needs. We try to accommodate healthy eating habits, but may not be able to cater to all.
-
Toothbrush, deodorant, etc. There will not be shower facilities.
-
Laptop, mouse, cords, etc. We do not plan on having any loaners
Requirements for Internet Access:
DeVry uses "BlueSocket" to facilitate connection into their network. It will be extremely beneficial if you have the following installed on your laptop BEFORE you get to GiveCamp
Helpful Developer Tools:
GitHub has graciously donated free repositories for the charities for each team to use. If you do not have Git installed (or a GitHub account) please use the following instructions to do so before you get toGiveCamp
-
Setup a free account at https://github.com/signup/free
-
I'd suggest setting up and SSH key for your account. When signed in, just go tohttps://github.com/settings/ssh and it will show you ssh keys for your account.
-
The first three chapters of http://git-scm.com/book are a great free resource to get started on, if they don't have any familiarity with Git.
-
When I'm there (GitHubber Jared Koument), I'll be happy to help bootstrap anyone who needs a hand. (If they prefer a GUI, GitHub for Windows and GitHub for Mac are good clients for interfacing with Github. Another option is SmartGit, which is free for non-commercial use.)
