From Metaswitch Forum 2011–My video interview

 

My video chat with the Metaswitch PR guy

Metaswitch Forum 2011–The Power of "M”–but what about JAMES BOND?!?

Theme for the upcoming Metaswitch Forum 2011 in Las Vegas is:  The Power of “M.” 

Uh hmm.

Now I’m nothing but an uncivilized American, but even I know that when we talk about the power of “M,” we’re talking James Bond’s “M.”   Even Wikipedia has “M” listed as James Bond!

Metaswitch Forum 2011 – “Week of September 19th”

I have received a note from the Meta-people that Metaswitch Forum will be the week of September 19th, not the week of the 9th.  And a remind the contract with the Vegas hotel is still pending, not yet signed.

I have corrected. Maybe you guys can do a PowerPoint slide at the end [...]

Metaswitch Forum – Check in on Foursquare

If you are attending the Metaswitch Forum (www.metaswitch.com/forum2010), could you please check in on Foursquare?

Part of this is ego and part of this is experiment: I created the Metaswitch Forum sign-in last night, so I’d like to see people use it.  I would also like to see how many people ARE using [...]

Metaswitch Forum – Yes, I’m here

At long last, Metaswitch Forum has arrived, from today through Friday morning (Seriously guys, can we try to trim off a day somewhere for the press people? I love you all and want to spent quality time, but four days – with the travel thrown in – is a bit long).

Tonight is the [...]
