Especially if you’re attending, but even if you are remote, please consider joining our social network. It’s hosted by Crowdvine:

This is the place to post your specialities, and to find help for a specific skill. Also, it’s a way for us to stay connected throughout the year. Check it.

At iOSDevCamp, we’ve always had great participation by women and healthy diversity among participants. We strive to provide a good, safe environment for anyone to attend, learn, and succeed. To improve on our own track record, we again reach out to our extended family.

Our host, eBay’s Women In Technology group, has created a Free Ticket Discount code for use by any female developer, designer, or businessperson for iOSDevCamp 2012.

To inquire, please contact our manager Jennifer Holmes.

We are looking for more people like these two women who will be at this year’s camp:

Meet Jessica Scorpio. She founded Getaround, along with Elliot Kroo and Sam Zaid at our event in 2009. “20,000 lines of code, 2 days, and just 4 hrs of sleep later,” her team won Best Money-making App in our 2009 Hackathon Contest.

Getaround recently won Techcrunch Disrupt NYC, and is now a sponsor of iOSDevCamp. Brilliant work, Jessica!

Meet Alexa Andrzejewski. She wrote to me in 2009 just before iPhoneDevCamp 3, asking if we could help her find a team of developers, and we convinced her to attend. She recruited a team, signed them on the spot, and set about in deep focus to build a functional design. For their efforts and slick demonstration, “Foodspotting Lite” was awarded Best Social iPhone App.

Alexa and Foodspotting are now in their third year, and well-funded. Cheers to Alexa, Ted, and Soraya—may you dine well always.

See also last year’s video featuring many of the women involved in the past:

We are seeking a woman or a panel of women to speak in our side sessions. The talk can be inspirational or technical, or design-oriented.

Our host has provided plenty of space for families and children to spread out, and enjoy the sunny South Bay weather. There is a beautiful koi pond, and grassy knoll nearby which we use for our annual portrait. Let’s set a record with the number of kids this year!

It would be so much more fun if you were there! Won’t you join us?

iOSDevCamp 2012
July 20-22, 2012
eBay, San Jose, California

Register now! Interested in sponsoring?

We are pleased to announce iOSDevCamp 2012, the seventh not-for-profit iOS developer conference produced by the original iPhoneDevCamp all-volunteer team. What was originally called ‘iPhoneDevCamp’ was rebranded as ‘iOSDevCamp’ in 2010 to match Apple’s new naming convention. This is a combined iPhone and iPad event.

We expect this to be the largest event yet, with over 500 attendees. Thank you to our lead sponsor, eBay for again offering its great facility for our event. For those of you who attended one of our events in the past few years, we will be using the same space, but eBay is increasing the available rooms to accommodate additional attendees. Thank you, eBay!

As a reminder, 100% of your registration fee goes to event costs. We are a not-for-profit all-volunteer group.

NOTE: This is not a training event. iOSDevCamp is for existing iOS developers and designers to build and demo new iOS apps within 48 hours, over our three-day event.

Who: Developers, designers, entrepreneurs for iOS.

What: 3-day weekend event, in the format of past iPhoneDevCamp and iPadDevCamp.

When: July 20-22 (Friday through Sunday), 2012

Where: eBay in San Jose, CA.

Why: We love the developer community!

How: It will cost a small amount to attend, with additional event costs offset by sponsors.

The event is inspired by BarCamp, SuperHappyDevHouse, and MacHack, to develop Cocoa Touch and Web-based applications for Apple’s iOS. This follows the previous iPhoneDevCamp events held at Adobe Systems in San Francisco, July 2007 and August 2008, Yahoo! in 2009, and eBay since then:

Out-of-town guests are welcome. Attendees will include iOS developers, web developers, UI designers, entrepreneurs and testers, all working together over the weekend. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. While some attendees will wish to work solo during the event, we encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on a development project during the event.

Attendees will be able to:

• Create new applications for iOS.
• Migrate Mac OS X applications to iOS.
• Test and optimize applications for iOS.

The event will feature:

• Simultaneous Events Worldwide
• Meetup Time on Friday with Refreshments
• Catered Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner on Saturday and Sunday
• Saturday Keynote (now accepting nominations)
• Open Mic for Questions
• Ad Hoc Sessions by Participants
• Late Saturday Gaming
• Sunday Keynote (now accepting nominations)
• Hackathon Contest
• Everyone Leaves with Something

We are committed to staying not-for-profit; all charges will go toward the production of iOSDevCamp, and the organizers don’t make a cent. The organizers are Raven Zachary, Dom Sagolla, and Christopher Allen. Our event planner is Jennifer Holmes. We are currently seeking:

• Your Registration
• Sponsors
• Keynote Speakers
• Hackathon Prize Donations

To get involved with the above, please email Raven, Dom, Christopher, and Jennifer: info@iphonedevcamp.org.

We hope to see you there!
