The Ebay Devcon starts today at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. For the first time this year, there are also sessions on Skype and the Skype API. One session that certainly seems to capture the zeitgeist (judging by this week’s discussions on the Voipsec mailing list) is that of using Skype in the enterprise.

Ebay are certainly trying some new things with their conference, firstly by running it over the weekend from Saturday to Monday, but secondly with the Unconference. The idea of the Unconference is to hand over the conference agenda to the attendees; for some weeks they have been running a Wiki where people can suggest their own topics, and once again I see that someone has nominated Skype for a roundtable discussion on Monday.
