<div>Matt,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well voluntered and good suggestions that we will follow but I still think people need to commit to coming to the meeting before we set one up (at least 5 people). As I mentioned I am stepping down as Chair person - u ready to take up the post?

<br> to the pub.<br><br>- Put out some email to the mailing list approx a week in advance<br> of the meeting to remind people that it will be happening etc.<br> In the past often the reminder has only been on the day of the
<br> meeting or the day before and people might not be able to arrange<br> to be there etc.<br><br>If others agree with the above then I would happily volunteer to start<br>off the demos with a demonstration of configuring and using the
<br>asterisk[1] open-source PBX for the March meeting if people are<br>interested?<br><br>Matt<br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.asterisk.org/">http://www.asterisk.org/</a><br><br><br>--<br>Matt Marsh<br>Email: <a href="mailto:matt@mattmarsh.net">
