This Friday Transparency Camp will kick off a weekend of open government hacking with a happy hour hosted in the Development Seed / MapBox garage. Come out to meet folks working on expanding open data, collaboration, and government transparency, enjoy some drinks, and play a few heated rounds of foosball and ping pong.

 

The happy hour will run from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Development Seed garage, located off of 14th Street between R and S. We'll be in the back alley, so from 14th turn west (left coming from downtown) on R, make the first right, and look for the big orange sign.

Open Data Icon created by James Burke / Lifesized.net

 

The Icon has been put in the Public Domain (Creative Commons Zero). It would be great if you could nonetheless credit James Burke for creating it, when you use it, linking to lifesized.net

 

(this icon was created in 2009 by James Burke as we wanted a generic icon for general use to indicate 'find open data here' to be used on government websites e.g. At the time we were doing the first explorations into open data for the Dutch ministry responsible for open and e-government). The icon later 'travelled' and was used in e.g. the open data hand book. )

CapitolCamp is an unconference and developer day that brings together Government technology stakeholders under the roof of the New York State Capitol Building to share challenges and solutions.  

The first CapitolCamp, held in June 2009 as the first unconfrerence in a State House, drew nearly 100 citizens, civil servants, and elected officials.  

CapitolCamp 2010 seeks to further engage and expand this community, as a key component of building a more transparent, efficient, and participatory government through leveraging “Gov 2.0” technology.

CapitolCamp 2010 is split into two days: a technical developer summit on August 19th, and an unconference on August 20th. CapitolCamp is organized and hosted by the New York State Senate Office of the Chief Information Officer and the New York State Office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO/OFT).

On Thursday, Aug 19th, "the developer summit" will be a smaller event, primarily for programmers, and will focus on the nuts and bolts of using open source and other software for civic good and Government. This is a day long conversation about coding, collaborative software development and best practices. The conversation will involve hands-on work in open-source applications currently being used within and in conjunction with New York State Government.  You must register independently for this event, at ( capitolcampdev.eventbrite.com ).

On Friday, Aug 20th, the main "unconference" will be segmented into three thematic “tracks,” each 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 an update on NY Senate CIO Office’s “roadmap” and a discussion of public access to State legislative data; for the rest of the day, this track will focus on "legislature 2.0" related conversations.

2) "Empire 2.0": begins with a discussion of the role of the Office of the State Chief Information Officer (CIO/OFT) in developing the State's roadmap for NY Executive Branch agencies use of social and collaborative technologies to better serve all New Yorkers and improve inter-governmental communications; includes a brief update on CIO/OFT "roadmap" and an open discussion seeking ideas to further the overall strategy; for the rest of the day this track will focus on "state government 2.0" related conversations.

3) "New York 2.0": an open publicly-led conversation on what “digital natives” are doing to transform New York into the most collaborative, participatory, and transparent state in the nation.

Over the last year or so, there's been a growing consensus and practice in the Chicago OpenGov community that inclusion of residents is an important (and often missing) element of successful civic innovation.

 

Join us for a night of discussion of three methods for engaging with residents in the design / build process.

 

George Aye of Greater Good Studio will discuss their unique asset-based approach to design for solving social issues and talk about some current projects, with a focus on inclusive methods for public engagement.

 

Patrick C. Cunningham will discuss work with Design Cloud Chicago focused on collaborative approaches to development and use adoption. As a hybrid design firm + art gallery + business incubator + community hub, he will also cover the overall D:CL business and creative structure. Additional inclusive design projects such as AirLab and an Archeworks Research Fellowship will be presented as well.

 

Daniel X. O'Neil will review work to date on the Civic User Testing Group, a set of regular Chicago residents who get paid to test out civic apps. He'll review the process of setting up the CUTGroup platform, the methods used to engage with residents, and talk about how Smart Chicago has signed up nearly 400 people from all over the city to test out the work we all make.

The graph represents a network of 7,316 Twitter users whose tweets in the requested range contained "opengov", or who were replied to or mentioned in those tweets. The network was obtained from the NodeXL Graph Server on Tuesday, 05 May 2015 at 05:38 UTC.

 

The requested start date was Monday, 04 May 2015 at 23:59 UTC and the maximum number of tweets (going backward in time) was 10,000.

 

The tweets in the network were tweeted over the 26-day, 0-hour, 57-minute period from Wednesday, 08 April 2015 at 21:39 UTC to Monday, 04 May 2015 at 22:36 UTC.

 

There is an edge for each "replies-to" relationship in a tweet, an edge for each "mentions" relationship in a tweet, and a self-loop edge for each tweet that is not a "replies-to" or "mentions".

 

The graph is directed.

 

The graph's vertices were grouped by cluster using the Clauset-Newman-Moore cluster algorithm.

 

The graph was laid out using the Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale layout algorithm.

 

The edge colors are based on edge weight values. The edge widths are based on edge weight values. The edge opacities are based on edge weight values. The vertex sizes are based on followers values. The vertex opacities are based on followers values.
