Hey all,

I'm bumbed I couldn't make it last time, I hope there is still
interest in a December 15th meeting?

I'm planning on preparing a short talk on at least one of these topics:

1.  My experience with SOHO Asterisk
2.  IPCop and the Soekris net5501

Let me know if you are interested in either of these so I can focus on
the most popular one.

Nick

Can we get a roll call of people interested in attending? Maybe
include a short list of things you are interested in.

I'm interested in attending the meeting and I am interested in WiFi
captive portals, small business networking, network penetration
testing and software reverse engineering.
