Out at the Splunk .conf 2010 in San Francisco? Hear Voxeo CTO RJ Auburn…

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

splunkuserconf2010.jpgIf you are out in San Francisco this week at the Splunk .conf 2010 Worldwide Users’ Conference, you can listen to Voxeo CTO RJ Auburn on Wednesday, August 11, from 9:15-10:15am Pacific talking about “Logging at the Terabyte Scale“:

What do you do if you generate over 1 terabyte of logging data each day? How do you begin to analyze that volume of data? And how do you make it so that 100,000+ developers can easily access their own individual logging data? Learn how Voxeo uses Splunk to analyze logging data and monitor network and security operations, prove compliance, and give external developers the data they need to be successful.

As the session abstract notes, we do use Splunk rather heavily and RJ is out there to talk all about it. If you are there and want to connect, you can find RJ at the conference or contact him via Twitter.

Video: Loop from Voxeo Booth at SpeechTEK showing Prophecy 10, VoiceObjects On-Demand and Text Messaging

Friday, August 6th, 2010

As several people have asked about what the video looked like that was running in the back of our SpeechTEK booth, we uploaded the video loop to YouTube.  Note that it is silent, so no, there isn’t a problem with your speakers.  Enjoy…

The video was produced by our friends over at R3M1X3D with direction on our end provided by our Kim Martin.

Kevin Mitnick to speak at Voxeo’s Customer Summit

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Kevin Mitnick, the world’s most famous (former) hacker will be the keynote guest speaker at Voxeo’s Customer Summit, June 21-23 at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Resorts Orlando.

Kevin drew headlines and a prison sentence in the summer of 1999 related to a 2-year computer hacking spree in which he gained unauthorized access to computer systems at some of the largest corporations on the planet and penetrated some of the most resilient computer systems ever developed. Today, he has his own consulting firm, and is one of the world’s most sought out experts in exposing the vulnerabilities of complex operating systems and telecommunications devices.

Kevin Mitnick presented The Art of Deception at a previous Voxeo event. This time, he’ll present The Art of Intrusion: How Hackers Compromise Your Security and What You Can Do About It. Summit Attendees will hear the hair-raising details of real-life computer break-ins, how the perpetrators hacked in, and how they successfully covered their tracks. Both techies and non-techies alike will enjoy hearing Kevin’s talk.

If you haven’t signed up for Summit yet, what are you waiting for? Register now for free.

Save 10% on registration for eComm (Emerging Communications Conference), April 19-21

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

ecommlogo2010.jpgIt’s time once again for what is probably my favorite conference out there… eComm, the Emerging Communications Conference. For a few days in San Francisco, all the early adopters and “alpha geeks” of the communication world will gather together to share new ideas, learn from each other, network among each other, create partnerships and generally do what they can to move the state of communications forward.

If you are interested in where the bleeding edge of communication is… it really is the place to be.

If you haven’t gone before, I’d strongly encourage you to check it out. This year there is even a third day focused on the rapidly exploding world of “augmented reality”… some very cool speakers and amazing talks. (Admittedly, I’m biased since I am on the program committee.)

In fact, if you go to the eComm site, click “Register” and then enter the discount code “voxeo” during the process you can get 10% off the ticket price.

Voxeo is a Platinum Sponsor and we’ll have a presence there at eComm, including a booth and a presentation by Jose de Castro. We’ll have some cool announcements, too, which of course I can’t say anything about yet… ;-)

For all of you who will be there, we’ll look forward to seeing you!

Are you a voice developer in SF? Around Nov 4th? Voxeo/Orange Labs invite-only session on recombinant telephony.

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

orangespotlight.jpgAre you a developer working with voice or communications applications in the San Francisco Bay area? Or will you be in SF next week for VoiceCon or Enterprise 2.0? Interested in learning more about “voice mashups”, cloud-based voice, “recombinant telephony” and other innovations?

We (Voxeo) are joining with Orange Labs for a special edition of Orange Spotlight focused on the coming “wave” of mashups involving cloud-based voice technology, innovations in messaging, and realtime web. On Wednesday evening, November 4th, we will be hosting a collection of developers and strategists working at the edge of the current art in hosted contact center, IVR, speech, and multimodal technologies who are all gathered for the purpose of sharing knowledge and inspiration. Some of the participants include:

and many more. If you are a subject matter expert or have an active interest in the future of telephony, this will be an evening of interactive discussion on this exciting area. The event is from 5:30 – 8:00pm at Orange Labs’ facility in South San Francisco near the SFO airport.

Space is limited so please email me (Dan York) ASAP if you are interested.

Voxeo’s Dan York to speak next week at VoiceCon and Enterprise 2.0 in SF

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

VoiceCon logoNext week is a bit of a marathon speaking schedule for me (Dan York) out in San Francisco. VoiceCon and Enterprise 2.0 are co-located at the Moscone Center in downtown SF and I’m actually speaking at both events. Full details of my talks can be found on our event pages at:

http://blogs.voxeo.com/events/voicecon-san-francisco/
http://blogs.voxeo.com/events/enterprise-2-0/

The overall schedule looks like this:

Monday, Nov 2 (VoiceCon)

3:15 – 4:15 pm – Presence – Current Progress and Future Trends

Tuesday, Nov 3 (Enterprise 2.0)

11:15 am–12:00 pm – Case Studies In Enterprise Micro-Blogging

4:15 – 5:00 pm – The Future of Social Messaging in the Enterprise

Wednesday, Nov 4 (VoiceCon)

3:15 – 4:15 pm – Developing Voice Apps Using Mashups and SOA

Thursday, Nov 5 (VoiceCon)

8:00 – 9:45 am – Web 2.0 and Enterprise Communications – Fad or the Future?

I’m very much looking forward to both events, both to participating in the sessions I’m in and also to seeing all the other great sessions at both events.

In the Presence session on Monday, moderator Don Van Doren will be getting the panel involved in a discussion around what we need for truly making presence be more useful in an enterprise environment. (As to my involvement there, do recall that Voxeo has a product, SIPoint, which provides a SIP-based presence server among other services.)

On Tuesday, the first session on microblogging should be a good tour inside different ideas of taking Twitter-like microblogging inside the company, something I wrote about at some length in the past. The second session is a reprise of the “reactor” panel at Enterprise 2.0 in Boston earlier this year – only with different panelists. Should be a fun and interactive session.

Wednesday brings a session on voice mashups where I will be demonstrating what can be done with our Tropo.com platform and then a gentleman from IBM will be demonstrating mashups on their platform. And finally Thursday wraps up my participation with a almost two-hour “deep dive” into the role of Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise with my frequent co-presenter Irwin Lazar.

All in all it should be a great event. (And add in speaking at an event on Wednesday night (more on that in another post) and… well… I think I’ll be tired by the time Friday rolls around! :-) )

If you are going to be out at either VoiceCon or Enterprise 2.0, please feel free to say hello or drop me a note in advance. You can also expect that I’ll be tweeting throughout the time at both my own @danyork account as well as the @voxeo Twitter account.

Photo tour – Voxeo China in Beijing Botanical Garden

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Recently some of the team in Voxeo’s Beijing office took a trip to the Beijing Botanical Garden and uploaded a set of photos for all to see:

I’ve not yet traveled to Beijing myself, but based on these photos the Botanical Garden looks like a great place to visit when I do get there! (Thanks to Michael Zhang in our Beijing office for sharing them with us.)
