More details on the event: During the last few months of the presidential campaign, Billy Belchev and Paul Baker of Webitects traveled to Obama for America offices in swing states studying the campaign's ground game. Using design research methods, they recorded screens, mouse movements, and voices as organizers "cut turf," pulled walking and calling lists, entered volunteer information, etc. They also photographed and collected artifacts, took videos of strategy meetings, and interviewed organizers. Their design research will help inform the redesign of campaign software. In very graphic terms, they will present what they learned, and how they learned it. Zack Exley of ThoughtWorks and the New Organizing Institute (former Director of Online Communications and Organizing for John Kerry's campaign) will also preview his book about the Obama ground game.
