It would be nice to have more than two people show up. I'm beginning to think BSD is dying, at least the local group anyway. I was wondering if anyone has played with running a VoIP server on BSD? I have a few boxes that run an embedded linux that handles VoIP calls and I was thinking it would be interesting to see if it could be done with an embedded BSD, kind of like pfsense for firewalls. Discussion welcome over a glass of your favourite.

Has anyone figured out how to install a dual-boot Windows 7/PC-BSD (FreeBSD) setup yet? [Perhaps Thurs. we can discuss...since my reminder will work this time 'round]. -- Brodey Dover, MCTS, OACETT (Associate Member) Dover Synthetic Lubricants Email: doverosx at gmail.com Phone: 1 (613) 808-9628 From david.rowe at drowe.ca Sat Mar 3 22:14:09 2012 From: david.rowe at drowe.ca (David Rowe) Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2012 22:14:09 -0500 Subject: [ocbug] March Meeting In-Reply-To: <7343726D-F47B-48CF-B1B5-CD20B24CE3EB@arrow-eye.com> References: <7343726D-F47B-48CF-B1B5-CD20B24CE3EB@arrow-eye.com> Message-ID: <4F52DE01.9040003@drowe.ca> Scott, I have been lurking for years on the email list. 18 years as a Cub Scout leader with meeting on Thursday nights :-). The few times you wandered off Thursdays conflicted with other meetings. I would like to use VoIP on a FreeBSD box as well. I am not 100% comfortable putting Asterix/FreeSwitch on my Asus 500gp router running TomatoUSB (Linux based). I run 1 (soon to be 2) low power FreeBSD machines on Via C7 processors. Been thinking of FreeSwitch on the one doing backup duties. The first had hardware problems but I managed to get it back up and running but not before I put together a new one. 1st order of business is to setup the new one with ZFS then migrate the services from the UFS old one before giving the old one a ZFS upgrade on new disks. Then I would like to get my VoIP line working somehow on the old one which will do ZFS stream replication. I cut my teeth on a PDP-44 running Unix System 7 way before using that new fangled Linux :-). I have fond memories of running a VAX 780 with BSD 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 and I still prefer BSD for servers. I have been looking at PCBSD to replace my Fedora workstation -- could not get the liveCD working on the workstation (only a short attempt but that was the time available). I would be interested in working together on VoIP for FreeBSD if only by email.

Please submit all paper titles and abstracts by March 27, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PDT. NSDR focuses on the technical networking and systems research challenges that arise in the design, implementation, and deployment of new computing solutions appropriate for developing regions. We encourage the submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation, and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Low-cost wireless connectivity * Intermittent and delay-tolerant systems * Rural network planning * Spectrum management protocols and techniques * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Location-aware systems * Power-efficient systems * Low-cost computing devices * Mobile systems and applications * Middleware and mechanisms for minimizing energy, latency, and storage (caching, etc.) * Adapting content and applications for local languages * User interfaces for low-literacy populations * Shared access devices and infrastructure, including personalization and privacy concerns * Design and evaluation of applications and in-depth case studies in the areas of public health, microfinance, agriculture, e-governance, education, monitoring, disaster management, etc. Paper submissions are due Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PDT.
