This is a chance to get to know other campers before we get to Perth. And also find out what other people are interested in doing or working on.

A bit about me:
I’m Celia, one of the organisers for camp. I was a Latin teacher, but decided to quit to write novels about dragons and things. While I was doing that I fell into data stuff and now I’m working in Data Services. At the moment I’m learning about using Ruby with Google’s BigQuery. It’s pretty great.
What I’d like to work on at camp:
I have an idea of a project I’d like to work on for camp, but also I’d like to work on some fundamentals. I’ve been teaching myself, so there are some gaps in my knowledge.
Talks I’d like to give:
I’d like to give a talk on the similarities between Latin and Ruby, but I don’t know if it will be ready in time for camp. I’m also formulating some opinions and theories about the future of education. Generally, but in particular to tech/programming.

Hi! I’m a first-time Rails Camper and one of the organisers for camp. I used to be a musician and music teacher, now I’m a new developer at MYOB.
At camp I’d like to work on an app for my family to share photos, recipes, etc. with an interface my 90-year-old Nan is comfortable using and that can act as a family archive.
I’d like to give a talk on teaching and learning strategies from my education background that we can apply in tech to grow good developers faster.
