Our next meeting will be this Thursday, March 19th, and we'll have a presentation from Voxeo. Voxeo is a local company which creates enterprise Voice over IP services, and they've invited us down to their offices to show off their brand new Ruby API. During this talk they'll demonstrate how to use Ruby for everything from conferencing and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) to Instant Messaging bots and SMS self service. Pretty cool!
We'll be meeting downtown Thursday at "Urban Flats" (http://bit.ly/Ei2tC) at 6 PM for dinner sponsored by Voxeo, and at around 7 PM we'll be taking the elevators up to Voxeo's offices in the building. Anyone who shows up before 6:30 PM gets FREE dinner, thanks to Voxeo.
If you show up after 7 PM you'll need to give us a call to let you in (407-754-5517).
See you Thursday, should be a fun night!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
