I tried an experiment last night with my Skype Unlimited plan.  After creating a public hockey chat to discuss the Sens / Panthers game, and the return to the net of Ray Emery, I dialed in to the iotum FREE Conference Calls service from Facebook.  It took a couple of trys to be recognized by the bridge, because Skype's transmission of DTMF tones is a little iffy, but I was able to get on the line and hang out to chat with other Sens fans.

So, here I am stuck indoors again, working on a presentation on an unbelievable October afternoon.  I'm also dialed in (via Skype) to the iotum FREE Conference Call bridge again.  If you'd like to chat, please feel free to join me on the line.  Facebook membership required. 

One of the coolest new sessions at VON this year is the VONCamp Unconference.  Borrowing heavily from the successes of the BarCamp movement, this is a whole day affair that will be part of the Innovators track at the show.  The idea is that   topics which aren't necessarily covered in the main sessions can be proposed, presented and discussed here. Think of it as constructive anarchy.  Amazing things can come out of these sessions.

My good friend Tom Howe will kick the day off with an "agenda bashing" session, where all attendees will decide on the agenda for the day.  After that, 12 sessions of 25 minutes each area available. Anyone can present and everyone is expected to participate in some way.

Go check out the wiki.  Sign yourself up, and decide if you'd like to speak or participate in some other way.
