Justin,

There was a site being passed around at TCamp2010. I'll see if I can dig it up. Or, anyone else remember?

Best,
Kevin

Anyone know of an online directory where someone can type in their location & find out contact info for their local officials?

Thank you so much, Kevin, for explaining what this group is about. I usually only follow national politics, and I haven't really been involved in local, with a few exceptions. I'm thinking about moving out of state (Connecticut), and I'd really like to learn more about how to get involved with local government officials.

Laura,

The best explanation is the wiki: http://barcamp.pbworks.com/CityCamp

In brief:

"CityCamp is a unconference focused on innovation for municipal governments and community organizations.

Each City Camp has four main goals:

1. Bring together local government officials, municipal employees, experts, programmers, designers, citizens and journalists to share perspectives an d insights about the cities in which they live

2. Create or maintain patterns for local government transparency and effective local governance using the Web as a platform

3. Foster communities of practice and advocacy on the role of information and open data in cities

4. Create outcomes that participants will act upon after the event is over

CityCamps happen in different cities. The first was in Chicago in January of this year. A second happened in D.C. about a month ago.

Best,
Kevin
