About
This inaugural New York State Government "un-conference" is about
convening a group of citizens and civil servants (and perhaps even
elected officials?) to share ideas about how technology can make
government work better for all the citizens of the Empire State,
focusing in particular on the theme of using technology to increase
transparency and participation in New York State government.
* Follow @CapitolCamp on Twitter and join us on Friday, June 5th
at the New York State Capitol for the inaugural CapitolCamp.

What's an un-conference? Why "Camp"? See our explanation here.
Goal:
To share knowledge, challenges, and solutions among a range of
stakeholders in the use of technology by New York State's
Government; to build a collaborative "e-government" community of
practice that includes citizens, civil servants, and elected
officials.

Sessions
This first CapitolCamp is hosted and organized by the New York
State Senate (Office of the Chief Information Officer) and by the
New York State Office of the Chief Information Officer, and will be
organized into three thematic "tracks," with specific 45 minute
session topics proposed by attendees upon their arrival at the
event:
1) "Senate 2.0": Technology, Transparency, & Participation in the
NY State Legislature: begins with a discussion of the role that
technology plays in the NY Senate, including presentation of the
"roadmap" for the NY Senate CIO's Office, and discussion of the
future of public access to State legislative data; "legislatures
2.0" thematically related sessions for the rest of the day
thereafter.
2) "Empire 2.0": begins with a discussion of the role of the Office
of the State Chief Information Officer in developing the state
strategy and roadmap for NY Executive Branch agencies for the use
of web 2.0, new media, and social collaborative tools and
technologies that can better serve citizens and improve
inter-governmental communications; includes a brief presentation of
the current state and open discussion seeking ideas to further the
overall strategy; "state government 2.0" thematically related
sessions for the rest of the day thereafter.
3) "Web 2.0 for Government" training workshop: expert online
organizer Beka Economopoulos will offer hands-on training about how
citizens, elected officials, and civil servants alike can Web 2.0
tools such as the new NYSenate.gov website, Twitter, and Facebook
more effectively.
Participants are invited to propose sessions on the CapitolCampNY's
sessions page prior to the event.
