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.

Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The course is just south of the Byron west stoplight.

If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to Kingvall Park, and try their disc golf course instead.
