This just in from Chris Hyams:
The campaign is specifically looking for Ruby coders to help on the application that will be used for precinct captains throughout texas. They are also eager to have any tech help from anyone else who can pitch in regardless of specific tech skills.
and
The Obama campaign in Texas is trying to maximize the use of technology to empower supporters throughout the state. We are in need of more volunteers to help add technology enhancements quickly. Contact Anshul Amar (aamar [at] obamaca.com) if you are interested in getting involved.
Please include your phone number and the best time to reach you. We’re looking for enthusiasm and engagement more than any specific skills. Please also include your resume (even if it is not up-to-date) so that we can know where to get you started.
UPDATE: Obama staff in Texas is seeking help, not the grassroots group “Texans for Obama”. Updated the title. Thanks Mario!
