TwinCites Asterisk Users Group

So I'm not really into the blogging but saw the feature on the site and thought I'd try it out. I've been fighting spam on the web site over the past week when Jason broght the problem to my attention. Wow, what a pain. This really should be a criminal act. Hours have been wasted trying to keep this site usable. Well, I'm running low on battery as I've been operating unplugged now for 3 hours. Gotta cut this short.

I've added capcha math to the registration page. Let's hope this is enough for now.

The June meeting of the TAUG will be at Access Healthcare again. There will be a presentation on Tricks with FreePBX and provisioning Aastra phones. I'll have my Aastra 57i CT phone there with the wireless remote to play with. Hope to see you there!

I've been asked to include some more information on location and traffic issues so here they are:

The address is 2356 University Ave West. Saint Paul Minnesota, 55114. We will meet in suite 401.

Ugh... First the bad news. I talked with Eric and he'll be out of town this weekend so there won't be a meeting this month. That's two in a row and I'm not liking it one bit. I need my asterisk fix.

Sorry for the late notice on this Saturday's meeting but it will be canceled. I apologize for this, my daughter is turning 6 that day and I can't host the meeting. I do have some things for the next meeting though. I'll be getting a new Aastra 57iCT http://www.aastra.com/cps/rde/xchg/04/hs.xsl/19700.htm

I hope to have played with it a little and I can give a dog and pony about it.

I've also been playing with the asterisk distro from fonica. http://www.fonicaprojects.com/

I had quite a few problems getting a good copy of the CD image.

Well, I'm posting this after the meeting has actually taken place... Yes, there was a meeting and here's what happened, mostly: Jay started the meeting with the usual introduction and his rant on ISDN Bri.

We went around the room with introductions and then we talked a little bit about asterisk and what we should do for future meetings, Eric went over to the white board and drew a nice picture of linux, asterisk and the components involved.

The agenda is open for our next meeting. I think we'll plan on an open discussion of anyones choosing. If we're lacking a
topic, we'll give a demo of installing fail2ban for your asterisk system.

Bring your questions, ideas and projects and we will help you work through them.

Jimmy John's is just a block away or we can order pizza. The meeting will begin at 11:30am on Saturday.

There is a large parking lot in the rear of the building. Please note, the doors at the front of the property are not
