Telephony Mashup Contest from O'Reilly Media

O’Reilly Media and StrikeIron are proud to announce the first ever Telephony Mashup Contest. This new contest provides a stage for developers to demonstrate their creative skills using emerging telephony technologies such as VoiceXML, PBX, IVR, and Web Service APIs.

A telephony mashup is a voice, Web or mobile application (VoiceXML, PBX, IVR, VoIP, SMS, Text Messaging, etc.) that combines content from more than one source to create a new user experience. Qualifying entries must demonstrate how an application can use one or more sources of content in an inventive way to benefit users.

Any tool or platform that involves content (see StrikeIron or ProgrammableWeb) telephony (ex: VoIP, SMS, Text Messaging, PBX, IVR) can be used to create a mashup. This is uncharted territory, so there is plenty of room to use your imagination!!

The first round of the contest is open to all developers. Mashup submissions must be made by Feb 20th when finalists will be chosen. The contest is timed to conclude on the first day of the O’Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference where finalists will demonstrate their mashup at the conference. The winner will be chosen by conference attendees.
