December 9th, 2007 — Experiences, MobMe, Mobile, Wifi Mesh Networking
The event got over today, but the fun continues.
The first thing I learned is that India can be the heaven of Free and Open Source Software. There are too many developers wanting to contribute. And they will if someone shows them how to get started. Then again Evangelisation…
Javascript is going to become the language that dominates light weight application development. XML is here to stay, and is going to be seen in various usage scenarios. I decided to brush up my scripting knowledge.
Got inspired by the mozilla talks and decided to do a do a mozilla application for FastAlerts and Mobshare. This will help the users navigate the user interface better. Also it will help increase the usage.
Wireless Mesh Networks are evolving into a much more reliable and secure technology. In India the adoption rate is very low for community networks (are indians afraid of sharing). Bangalore will soon see its first mesh setup and I am going to be a part of the team.
Many FOSS developers are now focusing on embedded and mobile development. It gives them more freedom and satisfaction. Mobiles are a better playground cos its largely unexplored and it offers much technology freedom than a normal computer. Openmoko, Openembedded, Android, Qtopia etc are going to dominate this.
The future will see more of software than of hardware. GNURadio project aims to make all communication infrastructure to consist of a standard hardware and different software for different applications. Its like you have a device and you can load various softwares to make it act like an FM radio, tv receiver, GSM phone etc. I didnt understand more…. I wish I had taken that Ham License while in college.
And on the final day met up with Rasmus Lerdorf, the guy who created PHP. I had a strange feeling when I met him, felt like I was talking to some film star. He maintains the php.net website and all its subdomains with around 1200 CVS users actively contributing to the project.
Then had chance to see and use the 100$ laptop. Amazing stuff, cleverly designed for kids. Only kids can use it cos its too small for a normal person to use. Also had a discussion about FOSS and education. FOSS fits into my Technology Evangelisation strategy. To tell you the truth, Im technology neutral.

August 16th, 2007 — Voice SMS
Voice SMS seems like Old wine in New bottle. Voice SMS Services launched by various companies are almost similar to voice mail, just that the packaging if different.
The voice message from the user is recorded via the normal calling handling mechanism, and an alert is provided to the recipient. The recipient is gets a playback of the message when he responds to the alert. Sounds very similar to voice mail.
Some providers use IVR to handle the user interface for voice SMS. Some use USSD infra to handle the user interface. SMS also can be used. BSNL calcutta is using IVR. Most of the other providers are using USSD.
Voice SMS is useful when sending voice alerts to a group of people. Almost like a bulk call facility on your mobile. Check out our bulk call service at www.fastalerts.in
