Capitol Camp 2012

Capitol Camp 2012 is an 'unconference' and 'hackathon' taking place October 20th and 21st that brings together government technology stakeholders under the roof of the New York State Capitol Building to share challenges and solutions.  We hope to build on the success of prior Capitol Camp events to further engage and expand this community, as a key component of leveraging technology to build a more transparent, efficient, and participatory government for all New York State citizens.
