In Denver, Colo., more than 100 citizens, govies and techies participated in a CityCamp last Friday, Oct. 26 in an effort to make government and communities better through discussions, presentations and sometimes hands-on hacking.
These 'unconference' style events have popped up all across the nation over the past couple of years, and in this video I explore what makes a CityCamp a hit.
