<p><a href="http://changecamp.ca/about/" target="_blank">ChangeCamp</a>
is a free
participatory web-enabled face-to-face event, which addresses the demand
for a renewed relationship among citizens and government. The mission
of ChangeCamp is to innovate how Canadian governments engage with
citizens in an age of mass participation on the Internet. The event
aims to develop action plans, for initiatives to improve participation
in municipal governance utilizing web-technologies.</p>
<p>Building on the success of ChangeCamp 2009, ChangeCamp 2010 is an
event being organized by the Ottawa community to bring together
citizens, technologists, designers, academics, policy makers, political
players, change-makers and government employees to discuss participatory
governance at the municipal level in a web-enabled world. The key
theme of this event is:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Data liberation and open,
transparent and participative government</strong></p>
<p>Are you interested in exploring ways better your community through
improved access to information managed by various governments in the
National Capital Region? Imagine being able to combine budgetary, health
and voting information from all three levels of government to better
understand how your tax dollars are being spent. Recently the City of
Ottawa adopted the principles of Open Government and approved a contest
for the creation of mobile and web applications to make use of its data
with $50 000 in prizes and incentives.</p>
<p>ChangeCamp is a solutions playground open to anyone, where admission
and ideas are free. ChangeCamp Ottawa is a unique opportunity. It is
taking place in one of the most technologically connected and
politically charged environments in the country.</p>
<p>ChangeCamp Ottawa is looking for those interested in e-governance,
communications and policy. Are you in?</p>
