Subject: [wlug] Voice over IP WLUG
meeting & plans for the installation demomeeting after
Just another note to say thanks to Nathan Ward
for coming down from Auckland on Monday and presenting a meeting on Voice over
IP.
Nathan covered VoIP from several angles;
protocols, software (client and server), and usage, both from an end-to-end
perspective and as part of a toll bypass system (where you call from a normal
telephone to another one, and get your call shunted onto an IP network along
the way.) Thanks also to Gerwin and Computer Upgrades 2000 for providing
an excellent venue.
Over the next month we will be presenting
tutorials to second year University students who will be using Linux as part
of their course. The next month's meeting is going to be an introduction
meeting for people who want to install Linux, so keep the date free (Monday 22
March) - the meeting will almost certainly be on the University campus
but an exact location will be announced soon.
We want to try and attract everyone that has felt
that meetings have been a bit over their heads, people who have lurked on
the list or on the Wiki and want to install Linux for the first time, want a
run down on the various distros, pros and cons etc.
If there are new users floating around on the
list, please let us know what you'd like to see at this meeting - it's for
you. The current plan is to run a Linux install live on a projector
while the presentation runs so that everyone can see exactly how easy it
is.
Craig
