Aloha,

Putting out a call for for any Luau folks who want to build some projects I
have in mind...and any projects you have in mind!

The first project is building a mythtv box.  Mythtv is an open source Tivo -
http://www.mythtv.org/  If we get some hardcore folks we can try to build it
from scratch.  If not, there is a Knoppix version (boot from the CD, loads
everything) http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html

I am thinking about Saturday the 25th at about 4PM at my place in Nuuanu.
We can test with my cable tv.

I will have all the parts I need.  I will have two different video capture
cards...hopefully we can make both work simultaneously.

If you want to build one for yourself at the same time, bring your gear.  I
have a 4.6Mb DSL at my house & I will open the WiFi if people just want to
hang out.

People can bring beer - I have lots of Vodka, Rum, & Tequila.  If people are
so inclined we can chip in ($5 or something) and get some pizza or subs.  I
live within one block of Subway, Dominos & Papa Johns.

Let me know if you are interested in participating.

Future projects I would like to build -
OS fax server using a regular modem -> hylafax
personal email server w/ webmail, spam filter,  anti virus etc.
firewall with inbound VPN capability
ability to scan a document, enter an email address and have the document
sent as a pdf to the email address
put OSX on a normal intel box
microsoft exchange replacement
asterisk server for people's house

Aloha,
Matt
