I would love to see an asterisk talk, but it's a HUGE subject that would be best broken up into multiple shorter talks.<br>
<br>
Perhaps start with what is asterisk and what can it do for me, perhaps with some use cases. That alone could easily fill an hour.<br>
<br>
Then maybe do a talk on, how to make an answering machine that is way overkill for my house.<br>
<br>
Then maybe go into setting up a simple, no frills, SOHO phone system.<br>
<br>
...etc...etc.. keep them down to an hour or less and that way they are easier to prepare for and easier to digest for the audience.<br>
<br>
Asterisk is one of those subjects that is very easy to feel like you took a drink from the fire hose.<br>

I'd love to do an Asterisk/Freepbx presentation again; when I have<br>
'spare time'.<br>
I did one a long time ago but I'd want to have a lot longer since it is<br>
way too much material to cram into 2 hours; ideally I think it would be<br>
more fun if it were hands on and the participants actually set up their<br>
own PBX in a virtual machine. Asterisk and AMP (2004) have come a long<br>
way since 2003... some distributions such as PBXinaFlash and Elastix<br>
(Trixbox doesn't keep up) make it a lot easier to get started and much<br>
easier to manage. I have enough telephony hardware in my home office<br>
to set up a couple PBX systems on real hardware; would need space to lay<br>
it all out.<br>
<br>
Anyway.. something that I've had on my mind for awhile.<br>

I've always wanted to get more involved with plug since I have a<br>

I think we could come up with 25 floppy disks full of slackware if<br>
you want to check the math on that... at least of the the disks will<br>
probably be bad causing you to have to start from scratch too :)<br>

configure than it was when I started; rock solid stable too.<br>
I manage<br>
to load up my life with work, business, teaching, and taking<br>
classes so<br>
I have no time to attend :(<br>
I need to make time :)<br>
<br>
<br>
At least make time to join us at the dinner (aka C.A.T Chat About<br>
Technology) after the regular meeting or at Stammtisch... you do<br>
leave time in your life to eat, don't you hehehe<br>
