[Yes i essentially stole all this text from [Kirk](http://pageofwords.com/blog/2009/08/30/CodeCampAuckland2009DevelopmentSQLSecurity.aspx) ]

__Code Camp is less than two weeks away!__

Code Camps are non-profit, and organised by members of the [local developer community](http://www.dot.net.nz/). This year the Auckland Code Camp is the day before [TechEd](http://www.microsoft.co.nz/teched) (Sunday 13 September), so we've managed to nab a few great speakers on their day off to present to us.
