If you're a geek in or around the Charlottesville metroplex or even if you're merely tech-curious, this is the event you don't want to miss. beCamp is Charlottesville's version of the BarCamp phenomenon—where the participants actually organize and create the conference. Think of it as an open-source geek gathering where you get to decide what goes into and what comes out of the event. It's 24+ straight hours of coding, collaborating, and conversing with people just as juiced about technology as you are. And the venue couldn't be more perfect for such mayhem: the Fry's Spring Beach Club!

BeCamp is hosted by the beTech group at UVA.   BeTech is a self-organized group of web developers around the Charlottesville area that come together to share ideas and promote good practices.

The pool is currently in the process of being filled.  The grass is cut and summer is coming fast.  FSBC will be holding two open house weekends where everyone is invited to enjoy the club facilities and grounds for free.  The open house weekends will be May 12/13 and 19/20.  The hours for both weekends will be 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.  Please bring your friends.

Keep in mind that your help is needed to recruit new members for Fry's Spring Beach Club.  You can receive a 10-punch Guest Pass Card when you recruit a new family.  Increasing membership is a benefit to all of us.   In addition to increasing awareness of this great place, the added revenue will help the Club as we seek to improve and maintain the facilities.  Ultimately, more memberships will also help to keep membership costs down for everyone.
