1. By and For the SharePoint Community
SharePoint Camps are about the SharePoint community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers, IT and Business professionals to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.

2. Always Free
SharePoint Camps are always free for attendees.

3. Community
Developed Material The success of the SharePoint Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don't want to share or provide to attendees then the SharePoint Camp is not the place for you.

4. No Fluff - Knowledge, Code and Best
Practices SharePoint Camps are about sharing information. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.

5. Community Ownership The most important
element of the SharePoint Camp is always the SharePoint community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.

6. Never occur during work hours
We need to understand that many times people can't leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the SharePoint Camp is that they always occur on weekends.
