If you follow our blog at all, then you know that we're excited about Rootscamp this weekend. In addition to meeting and reconnecting with many of the people running this year's political campaigns, we're particularly looking forward to hearing about what online tools have given them the best returns and to share some ideas we have. 

Being that Rootscamp is an unconference, everyone that attends needs to be prepared to present too at any given moment. So the other day over lunch we got to talking about what we could present on, which of course led to a few conversations on topics we'd love other people to present on. Here's what we came up with. If you're at Rootscamp tomorrow and are interested in these topics too, then cast your vote for them.

To Present On:

• What tools are out there to track news and a quick look at our tool Managing News
• How campaigners are reacting and acting on the news and what else they can be doing
• Using existing tools like Flickr, Twitter, etc. in campaigns to grab attention
• Intro to Drupal for developers
• Intro to Drupal for hackers
• Intranets and knowledge management - what you could be doing

To Attend:

• News tracking - what's working for campaigners and what's needed
• Deciphering social media - how campaigners know who to listen to
• Campaign wishlist - what technology you wish you had

We'll have a table at the job fair Sunday afternoon where we'll be demoing our news tracking tool Managing News, so stop by and check out what it can do.
