Zhao Lu Presents OpenVoice, Tom Enebo and Nick Sieger Present JRuby and Rails

First we have Zhao Lu presenting OpenVoice.

OpenVoice is a light-weight, open-source web framework enabling developers to write GoogleVoice-like applications using RESTful APIs. Thanks to Ruby-on-Rails and Tropo, developers can create next generation telephony applications quickly. Under the hood, OpenVoice handles call routing/forwarding, voicemails services including transcription, SIP/Skype support, and IM/SMS support. Some notable differences from GoogleVoice are: open-source, API support, and SIP/Skype support where GoogleVoice only supports Gizmo.

OpenVoice is built on top of Tropo, it can be deployed onto any server because it is a Rails application. In the future OpenVoice plans to support other backends such as FreeSwitch. On the client side, OpenVoice supports Android and will support Flash phone.

In this talk, Zhao will demo the web and Android interfaces.

JRuby Best Practices for Rails Apps.

Both the OpenVoice and JRuby presentations will cover much material.

Perhaps you should take a little nap at work to prepare yourself.

We will meet in room 110 which is near the left edge of the above photo.

We will meet at this time:
2010-07-27 7pm (Tues Night).

From SF and most places north of highway 92, the quick route is 280 to 85 to Moffett Blvd to NASA gate.

The slow route is 101 to Moffett Blvd to NASA gate.

Once you get passed the Guard at the gate (with a valid drivers license), drive about 20 or 30 seconds and look for a place to park.

You will be very near the building in the above photo.
