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.
