I’m not sure which specifics I’ll be getting into yet, but I’ll have a small talk prepared in my normal informal style. I’ll attempt to get a short set of slides in place as well, so you have a take-away for your efforts.

I’ll bring along a couple of VoIP phones with me this time, just as examples. If you are looking for some physical sets, I have extras from previous deployments that I can sell to recover my cost for them.

Title: February Meeting - VOIP talk Location: Tim Horton’s, 660 Eagleson Rd, Kanata Link out: Click here Description: I went and checked out the Tim Horton’s on Eagleson Rd. It certainly has the capacity and there are several tables that do not have fixed chairs, so we can “arrange” the seating a little to make things work.

I went over to The Second Cup yesterday, just to make sure it was still open and while I was there, asked what had happened last month. I was quite surprised to discover nothing had happened. In a new move by management, they have changed their hours so that they are only open until 18:00. As you can see, this puts a damper on our meeting location. The alternate location we used last month is a bit small (Tim Horton’s across the street), and I don’t know of any other venues in the near vicinity that we could bother with.

The first thing I’d like to do here is to apologize for those who arrived and discovered that the location was closed. I could have sent an email to the list or tweeted, but did not, thinking that anyone who came would think to try across the street at the Tim Horton’s located there. One person did and I believe two did not. I’ll have to specify alternate locations for future meetings.
