We'll be doing a basic camp orientation to let everyone know where to go and when.

We're going to take over 1 session slot and use it as a jobs fair. If you're looking for work or curious about the market, this is the session for you. This will be the last session on Saturday, then it's off to the after party for more networking! :)

Anyone who is looking to hire can sign up. You get 3-5 minutes onstage to talk about your company/position/staff/benefits/answer questions, whatever you like. No more than 5 minutes though.

Sponsors will be given first priority. Volunteer/unpaid posts will also be accepted if there is time.

This session assumes you know the basic usage of Views and dives deeper into arguments, relationships, and attachment views.

Also covering basics if you never have taken any time to look into or use an installation profile.
