About posting the Skype roadmap slide

I just wanted to share my thoughts about this post from yesterday.

I took the photo in an event that was publicized to reporters and attendees of the Boston VON conference. So this was neither an invitation only or private meeting.

There was at least one reporter from another VoIP publication in the room, moderating the conversation. And there were at least three bloggers from other publications in attendance, perhaps as many as six since we went to a blogger dinner after. I wasn't the only one taking pictures. The slide remained up for at least 30 minutes.

I arrived after the meeting had been going for about 20 minutes so I don't know what was or wasn't said at the beginning of the meeting. When I arrived, there were no signs or warning that this was secret or private. In fact, there was a lawyer from Skype in the room who didn't advise anyone that this was private or secret. Nobody asked me to sign in. I'm not under an NDA with Skype and nobody there was asked to sign one. I wrote this post myself. Hope that helps. - Phil

Phil, I for one thank you for the information.

I have had many roles in the past managing partners for technology suppliers and one of the most useful pieces of information a supplier can provide to their partners is their roadmap.

How else can a company make sensible business decisions unless they know where their supplier is going - albeit always surrounded by caveats.

The fact that it came through Skype Journal and not direct from Skype should only be of interest to Skype Journal and Skype - why should anyone else care?

Regards
Graeme
