A1 InnovationDays WIKI

The A1 InnovationDays are part of the Unified Communication initiative of http://www.writers.ph/ freelance writing jobs philippines.

Five teams have been nominated by the jury to implement their submitted ideas at the prototyping sprint at monastery UND, Aug 29 - Sep 1, 2008. They used this WIKI to plan and document their project, get into contact with each other and organise issues around the event. Although the straight aim of the sprint is to award a winning team, the final aims are building relationships, discussing projects & technologies, innovating and having fun.

The selected teams/ideas are:

• Thunderbird plug-in for Unified Communications
• SIP Website Widget
• Spontaneuous live comment as A1 sports reporter
• Automated Audio/Video Greeting Service
• SIP extension for Disko framework
