| Description: Free telephone system for your home or office. Asterisk is an open source PBX telephony solution. The presentation will consist of some simple background into telephony explaining some terms. From there I will show the set up files (.conf) and how to add users and program a simple dial plan also showing the Asterisk GUI. Then I will crank up an Asterisk server and we will connect some soft and hard phones to it and see if we can make some phone calls so bring your laptop. If time permits there is a ready to go ISO installer called Trixbox that makes setting up Asterisk extremely easy with a nice web based GUI.

| === Social: Sunday October 12th, 1 pm ===
| |
| Wander the corn maze at [http://www.northwoodsorchard.com/ Northwoods Orchard], just outside of Douglas. $5 for the adults and "older" kids for the larger corn maze, $3.25 for "younger" kids in the little corn maze (1 adult can follow the kid around for free), and coming back from the adult corn maze you can often grab a short tractor ride for free ($1 for the full farm tour). You can also purchase apples, gourds, pumpkins, etc, if you needed some fall supplies, and there's a small animal farm to entertain the kids with too. Yes, bring your friends and family. The kids maze takes ~15 minutes, the adults maze ~1 hour.
