CityCamp Minnesota: Where Web 2.0 Meets All Things Local

Picture this: A six hour coffee break with over 100 social media and open source enthusiasts from government, community organizations, technology start-ups, and the community at-large. Ahead of you in line at the coffee pot are software developers, social media experts, open government advocates, and students. What’s that? It sounds too good to be true? Think again!

It will happen at CityCamp Minnesota and their 1st "unconference" on Saturday, Nobember 12, 2011, at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Center in Minneapolis from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Check-in begins at 8:00am (coffee will be served). Thanks to volunteers, the camp is free.

The broad theme of "Community 2.0" will ask: In a world of scarce public resources, how do we take advantage of the 2.0 online, social media, and open source worlds to help build awesome local communities?...
