About TechDems
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.
As our group expands, we hope to be able to expand the topics covered by the Help Desk and to help campaigns and volunteers make connections for
