Etel is gone. ALL of Etel. No more conference, no more website, no more blog.
What a bummer.
ETel was one of the few events where those interested in the bleeding edge of communications could easily meet and mix. It was a place where you could see an Asterisk hacker sit down with an Orange or BT exec, and have a meaningful conversation. It wasn't just for telephony geeks either. Last year's mashup showcase was a phenomenal blend of the web and the phone network — where Web 2.0 met telephony.
A bunch of folks are trying to organize an alternative. If you'd like to participate, check out the EComm group on Facebook.

Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
