Welcome to eDemocracyCamp2!

eDemocracyCamp is an unconference (what's this?) about e-democracy (using the internet to support democratic processes) with a particular focus on e-participation (using the internet to support public participation). The goal is to connect researchers, developers, practitioners, citizens and other enthusiasts for a day of intense collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Get involved

 

  • RSVP on Eventbrite: http://edemocracy.eventbrite.com
    • Important (please read):  We're using Eventbrite this year to help us maintain one consolidated list of registered attendees, and we need your cooperation! Last year, we had a no-show rate of about 35 percent, which is too high if we want to avoid waste and spend our sponsor money wisely and efficiently. Please sign up on Eventbrite only if you are committed to attending the event. If you sign up and later find out you won't make it, please take your name off the list. There is no upper limit of attendees at this point, and we're pretty sure we'll be able to accommodate last-minute sign-ups. But for planning purposes, please help us keep this list as accurate as possible. Thank you!

Please help make this event sharable!

There are many folks around the world interested in these topics who can't all attend in person. It would be very nice if all sessions could be recorded (audio, video, live stream) or otherwise documented or captured (wiki, blogs, Twitter etc.). Please indicate below if you can bring equipment or have experience in helping others make their sessions sharable. Thanks!

Sponsors and budget

This event will be free to attend, because of the generous support of our sponsors. From past experience, the cost per active participant tends to vary between roughly $15 and $40 (depending on many factors such as venue, food, technology, schwag etc.). We'll list all our sponsoring (incoming cash and in-kind donations) as well as all outgoing expenses publicly on the wiki. 

List your name here if you or your organization would like to become a sponsor. Sponsors are highly encouraged to actively participate in the event. Cash donations are limited to a maximum of $300. If you plan to pay by check the day of the event, please make sure to bring enough checks to be able to split up your pledge into several smaller amounts.

 

By sponsoring eDemocracyCamp2, you're providing much needed funds to support this community. In return, we will prominently mention all sponsors by applying any or all of the following online and offline opportunities:

 

  • Sponsor appreciation on all available channels (wiki, Twitter, Google group)
  • Sponsor appreciation the day of the event (logo print-out, verbal announcement)
  • Right to market your product, service or organization on-site as long as it doesn't disrupt or otherwise negatively affect the overall barcamp experience (e.g. simple table tops, literature, banners etc.)
  • Sponsors are invited to participate at the event (though we don't guarantee that your sessions will be popular... that's up to you to figure out)
  • If you can think of anything else please contact us and we'll discuss. Thanks!
