A description from Leo Burd (Doctoral student and MIT Media Lab)

In my presentation I will talk about how to integrate Drupal with telephony or voice-over-IP (VoIP) technologies. In particular, I would like to focus on the work that I'm doing with Asterisk, the open-source PBX (http://www.asterisk.org/), and on some new Drupal modules that provide audio blogging, voicemail and other features that help expand the outreach of traditional websites to people for whom computers are either inaccessible or too hard to use. As an example, I'll demo the current version of "What's Up", a telephone-based, neighborhood news system for and by kids. It will be great to get feedback from the Drupal community and discuss potential applications of these new tools!

Subject: Drupal, Q&A, Chatting
Location: Paris On the Platte (gmap)
Audience:Anyone who is interested in Drupal or has used it before. The Q&A and chats are what you make of them. Likely topics include "AJAX" and CCK and Views.
