Even though the O’Reilly folks chucked eTel, without any real public rationale that would sooth most VoIP developers, Lee Dryburgh has picked up the slack and is seeking to pull off a real “people’s event” called eComm 2008 that continues in the spirit of eTel and goes one better for three days, March 12-14 in Mountain View, CA.
Pal Martin Geddes reminded me that it’s time to really start thinking seriously about the conference, and I for one am thrilled that Martin will be there. Martin links to a few ways to save money. I say it’s worth ever penny based on what eTel was like last year.
What’s more, Lee was smart enough to run into the weekend that leads into VON so for one trip you can spend a whole week in San Jose and cover all your VoIP and next generation communications meetings, meet up, panels and more. These events don’t really compete, they actually coexist nicely so book your travel, schedule your meetings and plan on a lot of fun in San Jose.
