In case anyone is wondering, this is the official posting for Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008. I'm sure the other person that posted about this event had good intentions:
http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/814502/
However, that event posting has broken links and lacks important new information about things like session submission deadlines and our twitter feed. Please refer to this entry rather than that one for the 2008 camp. Thanks!
