Code for America
We believe there is a wealth of talent in the web industry eager to contribute to the rebuilding of America. We witness this, for example, in the many community based efforts to open city data and the corresponding data mine efforts that have come online in major cities. Our mission is to connect Web 2.0 talent with cities that need it. Are you a proven, civic-minded hacker or designer? We want you to code for America. Are you part of a data rich, resource thin municipality that just needs to get stuff done? We invite you to share those concerns, needs, and wants. Code for America is building a program of service for vetted, skilled developers and forward-thinking cities. Let's get started.

If Code for America wins, they're going to use the money for CityCamp http://barcamp.pbworks.com/CityCamp especially to help municipal folks get there who otherwise can't afford to. - Kevin
