We’re very pleased that BathCamp is happening next weekend, which we’re co-sponsoring along with a number of other very interesting companies.

BathCamp is a BarCamp-style conference, taking place in Bath (UK) on Saturday 13th to Sunday 14th September 2008. BarCamps are user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

The “what I’m gonna talk about” list has been growing. From herbs to “The Gurgitator” to archaeological computing to learning Chinese, this is shaping up to be a fantastically diverse and interesting weekend.

Peter Gradwell will be presenting, reflecting on some of the interesting things we have done and are planning to do with VoIP+Web Integration.

Cost reduction is a major driver in VoIP, with savings to be had in the reduction of line rental fees, call minutes costs and smaller capital expenditure charges.

The credit crunch has spawned a range of news stories on the topic and we’ve recently been cited in a number of online articles.
