Shame I'm unlikely to be at the First Medway Meet in a long time, its
only over the river from me, but unfortunately my parents are planning
to come to visit..... One of the issues with the meet falling on a
bank holiday weekend. (Silly bankers)

Anyway ideas for future meets.

1. VPN's I've not really got a clue on these but they seam very usful
after having to try and figure out how to set one up within the last
week, (which I did manage) only issue god old security, and there
seams to be about 3 ways of doing it and and loads of blind alleys
when doing it... (Particually under linux)

2. Asterisk, Its been mentioned hundreds of times at meet, I've been
getting it to work for the last month, and lets just say its a Phone
System killer. If you need more than 1 phone line its a good idea, if
you need to run a call centre or office its a must. In fact I reckon
we ought to be able to restart out virtual meets if we can find
somewhere able to host a asterisk server, and not have the limits the
skype meets had...... plus the fact its Open and Linux based which is
one up on skype.

Just ideas

Peter.
