TechDems is an informal volunteer network of technology professionals who donate their technology-specific expertise to assist Democratic campaigns.

TechDems was founded by technology professionals in the Seattle, WA area and has been operating a small website since April of 2004.

In February 2006, we are launching the Help Desk project with an automated notifications system and an open volunteer sign-up.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, visit http://www.techdems.org.

error in link

Here's what I see when I click on Rob's link (as written):

This website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.

The reason? There's an extra character in the text of his link's URL. He wrote it as

http://www.techdems.org./

instead of

http://www.techdems.org/

There's an extra period after .org in the first version.

Ach! I corrected it by noemie maxwell, 02/13/2006 04:52:11 PM PST (none / 0)

Correct URL: http://www.techdems.org

Sorry about that; it looks like the auto formatting picked-up the extra period at the end of the URL. The correct URL is http://www.techdems.org

Great Resource

As someone that recently ran, and won, a local race, I know how useful tech services are, and how expensive they can become. I hope that this project will empower our grassroots Democrats that are seeking local office to harness the power of technology.

Thanks to Rob for publicizing this!
