This past quarter Howard Dean took in $15 million in mostly small-dollar
donations, breaking the previous record of $10.3 million and out raising
his rivals by more than three to one. How did he do it? By practicing
what his quirky campaign manager calls "open source politics" over the
internet to create a fervent base of nearly
half a million supporters. We are discovering that when grassroots go
online, web applications can govern the future of our political
system. In this presentation we will discuss the web technologies
being used in this election cycle and their future in our participatory
democracy.
