Bringing together local government officials, municipal employees, experts, programmers, designers, citizens and journalists to share perspectives and insights about the cities in which they live, Madison hosts it's first ever CityCamp. CityCamp recognizes that local governments and community organizations have the most direct influence and impact on our daily lives.  This event seeks to create local communities of practice who are dedicated to design, process, and technology applications that make cities and other local communities more open and “user friendly”. CityCampMadison is a special kind of Barcamp event. One that is focused on building resources for local governments and community organizations.     What's a Barcamp you ask? A Barcamp is an unconference. An event where people come together to share experiences, demo projects, and learn from one another. The agenda is determined the day of the event and determined by the participants and what they're most interested in. That all may sound hectic, but it produces an inspiring event where you walk away excited to tackle new problems and explore new ideas. In Madison, we've had some recent community projects that build on top of open government data and/or compliment existing city services. CityCampMadison would like to build on this momentum, learn from those experiences and explore new ideas around open, community resources that help city and munipal organizations innovate and deliver new tools to its citizens. Need more? Session ideas are being discussed on Google Moderator and can give you a good sense for the types of topics that may be discussed at the event. http://goo.gl/mod/0cAi   Event website:  http://citycamp.barcampmadison.org
