Voxilla Tutorial – Running Asterisk in a EC2 Cloud
Continue Reading: Voxilla Tutorial – Running Asterisk in a EC2 CloudLong-time readers will know that I have been intrigued for a long time with what we now call “cloud computing” (and have written about it and spoken about it) and also continue to find the world of open source telephony interesting.So naturally when I’m pointed to a step-by-step tutorial about running Asterisk in Amazon’s EC2 cloud, I’m interested. 🙂 It’s a nicely done tutorial and I look forward to seeing what people will do with it. (Unlike Mark Headd, who pointed to the tutorial in a tweet, I won’t be trying it out this weekend, but I will be doing so at some point soon.)
Cool stuff…

Jon Arnold interviews me about voice and web services, cloud computing and more
Continue Reading: Jon Arnold interviews me about voice and web services, cloud computing and moreIs the role of “voice” diminished or enhanced by the availability of web services? How does voice fit into the “cloud”? Where do service providers fit into the picture?Out at ITEXPO last month in Los Angeles, industry analyst Jon Arnold asked me (Dan York) to participate in a series of video interviews he was recording for his IPConvergence.TV site. In the interview, which is now available for viewing, we talked about “voice-enabling” business processes, web services, “cloud computing”, the challenges to service providers and customers and much, much more. Jon also asked me to talk a bit about what I see ahead of us in the next few years. It was a fun interview to do and I appreciated the opportunity.
NOTE: There is no way to currently embed the video, so you’ll need to watch it over on TMC’s site. I’ll also note that on my Mac I couldn’t watch the video in Firefox but instead had to use Safari. Now this may be due to some local configuration issue on my system, but I thought I’d mention it.

Heading out to Los Angeles this week for Communications Developer Conf / ITEXPO…
Continue Reading: Heading out to Los Angeles this week for Communications Developer Conf / ITEXPO…As I note over in my Voxeo blog post, I’ll be out at the Communications Developer Conference (co-located with ITEXPO) this week in Los Angeles. I will be speaking twice. First on Wednesday morning I’ll be talking about SIP Trunking and security as part of the Ingate SIP Trunking workshops from 10:15-11:15am. Next, on Thursday, I’ll be speaking about “Developing Voice Applications in the Cloud”, a favorite topic of mine these days.Voxeo will also have a booth and I expect to be there. I’m also doing some video interviews and other media work (actually on both sides of the camera). I’m looking forward to catching up with a good number of folks out at the show.
If you read this blog and are out there at either the Communications Developer Conference or ITEXPO, please do come by and say hello. I posted the schedule of talks over on Voxeo’s blog site. You should be able to find out more about where precisely I am through either twitter.com/danyork or twitter.com/voxeo.

It’s all about syncing to the cloud – Apple’s MobileMe was the most interesting part of the iPhone 3G WWDC keynote
Continue Reading: It’s all about syncing to the cloud – Apple’s MobileMe was the most interesting part of the iPhone 3G WWDC keynoteOkay, so the iPhone got better – so what? To me, the new iPhone 3G was NOT the most interesting part of yesterday’s Steve Jobs keynote at the Apple WWDC event. Sure, the blogosphere (and mainstream media) is buzzing like crazy about it (and we discussed it at length on yesterday’s Squawk Box). Sure, it’s great that the iPhone costs a lot less (at least, up front), is available in more countries (but still not in Vermont!), has GPS and now will work over 3G networks. Sure, all that is great.
<Donning flame-proof clothing> But at the end of the day, it’s still just a mobile phone! Sure, it’s an incredibly sexy one and yes now that I live in New Hampshire I admittedly am considering getting one. But it’s… still… just… a… phone. (And yes, I realize such a statement is heretical in defiance of the Cult of Apple (of which I am increasingly becoming a member).)
To me what was far more intriguing was Apple’s launch of “MobileMe” at me.com. Why?
Apple is getting into the “cloud” in a major way.
Let’s take a look at what Apple is offering (watch the Guided Tour to see it in…
