What tech talk is required by you guys, i could break with traditional
and do something security related - :p - Or i could talk about my other
hate, errr i mean love honest.  VoIP.  Something for the home users i
would suggest, VoIP is a nice subject, saying that anything hacking
related i could probably do though, so if there is something you want to
know about pawning your neighbours wireless (full of mistakes today, i
mean your test network) then that's cool too, or freak tunnels or
summin.  Maybe i could come with two for this and we could take a vote
on the day or something.

Depending on many factors such as DMZ playing nice, or some weird and
wonderful transparent proxy or summin i could probably deploy a VoIP
Virtual Server with some added extras, like Skype integration and Google
Voice (say we want to prank call someone in the states or Canada)

Nick may i make the suggestion of deploying maybe NetInfinety and
BackTrack for the hackers in attendance (which lets be honest in Uni
terms they get head hunted the hardest)

Plenty of XXXL you don't have to be big to run Linux but it helps :)
