 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.

 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
