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 Open Government Partnership Regional Meeting for the Americas were held in San José, Costa Rica on 18-19 November 2014 - preceded by a Civil Society Day on November 17. The Open Government Partnership currently includes 17 participant countries from the Americas region that are committed to making open government reforms in close coordination with civil society. These governments, and others that are not yet part of OGP, have implemented reforms to further strengthen transparency, citizen participation, collaboration and accountability in their countries. The Regional Meeting served as a space to highlight good practices and successful initiatives, discussing the challenges faced, and establishing support and peer exchange regional mechanisms. All open government reformers champions in the region were welcomed to the event, including: official delegates from Americas countries currently participating or considering future participation in OGP, public servants from all levels of government, representatives of civil society and non-governmental organizations, representatives of international, regional and multilateral agencies, the business sector, and the academic community.

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.
