What we’re about
OpenOakland is an all-volunteer collective founded in 2012 that bridges community and technology for a thriving and equitable Oakland. We bring technologists, designers, data geeks, advocates, residents, researchers, policy makers, thinkers, and doers together to build community-centered technology that empowers Oaklanders to shape the city we want to live in.
For nearly a decade, our digital tools have given Oaklanders a voice in their local government, from mapping community resources to publishing the city budget publicly for the first time ever.
We welcome folks from all disciplines, backgrounds, and experience levels; join us and say hello!

https://citycampoakland.eventbrite.comAfter a hiatus due to COVID, CityCamp Oakland is returning! We're excited to bring back this community-driven event where residents, activists, city staffers, technologists, students, designers, and community leaders come together for a day of collaborative problem‑solving and open conversation about Oakland’s future. All are welcome!
CityCamp is an unconference – meaning YOU help shape the agenda! We'll start the day with session pitches, then attendees will vote on topics they want to explore in breakout sessions throughout the day.
Keynote Speaker: Oakland's Chief Resiliency Officer Daniel Hamilton will kick off the day with remarks on building a more resilient Oakland.
Goals for the day:
- Foster open dialogue around Oakland's challenges and opportunities
- Build connections across diverse perspectives and expertise
- Create momentum for ongoing civic engagement
