Tim and any other local-to-Hawaii Linux enthusiasts,

HOSEF has its monthy Board Meeting on the 2nd Saturday of each month.  The 
next one is tomorrow, Saturday, 11 June from Noon 'till whenever at the 
Pizza Hut in Stadium Mall located at 4510 Salt Lake Blvd, Honolulu 96818.
If you don't know how to get there, look up this address on your favorite 
mapping site (www.mapquest.com works for me).  The phone number at that 
Pizza Hut is 486-2681.

The meetings are open to the public and we can put just about anything
HOSEF related on the agenda for discussion and action. Formation of such a
technical group in conjunction with or cooperating with HOSEF would be
appropriate, I think.

FWIW, I am personally interested in exploring Asterisk on Linux and IAX
trunking as a VOIP front-end to an Inter-Tel PBX.  Like you, I've played
around a little with it but would like to go beyond the playing stage.

As to the question about cutting down on carbs at a Pizza Hut meeting, I 
have 2 suggestions: Salad bar and Diet Soda.

Hope to see some of you there tomorrow.

Regards,
Ron Fox
