> CapitolCamp 2010 is split into two days: a technical developer summit on
> August 19th, and an unconference on August 20th (You must register
> independently for the unconference). CapitolCamp is organized and hosted by
> the New York State Senate Office of the Chief Information Officer and the

> 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.
>
> 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. You must register independently
> for this event, at ( http://capitolcamp.eventbrite.com ).
