Well, sometimes “life” intervenes in the best of plans.  As I wrote on my Disruptive Telephony blog, I will now very unfortunately NOT be attending VON Europe in Stockholm.  However, the Blue Box dinner planned for tonight will go ahead with Martyn Davies, Dean Elwood and about a dozen others.  I’ve already let Martyn know that I expect to get a good recorded segment out of it for inclusion in a future podcast!  🙂  

As for my Thursday panel on VoIP security that Martyn is moderating, Cullen Jennings from Cisco has agreed to step in.  Cullen is the IETF Area Director for real-time applications.. so essentially everything related to SIP rolls up to him, including VoIP security in the standards world.  I know from our many discussions that Cullen has a very strong interest in security, so the panel discussion should be quite a good one.   

I’m very disappointed that I won’t be able to be there to be part of the dinner or panel, but I’m looking forward to hearing how they all go.
