Organizing a code camp, especially one for the first time takes time a lot of time and effort. Some things to contend with,
-Need a venue which will support multiple rooms with audio-visual capability that can hold a large group of attendees.
-Sponsors for the food and giveaways and monetary
-Volunteers to man check in counters, food and giveaways not to mention assist the speakers and handle any audio-visual equipment failures.
-Get reasonable group rates at local hotels for speakers and other guests
-Speakers that will give up a saturday to come and elucidate on their favorite topics…
-Schedule sessions/tracks…. update website… provide registration, create review forms for sessions
-Publicize the event, so the community at large finds the event… posters, newspapers, web, broadcast to other user communities etc…
