Hi Julian, It was a cool meeting and I think that we need to have more of them. I am going to try to connect Alfredo's lounge to the mbone and for next meeting I will bring my box or help Alfredo outfit his box with the proper gear for vic and vat. They have been meaning to get connected to the mbone for a while now and hopefully it will not be a challenge. Next time, besides obviously taking notes it will be nice if we have an electronic sign up sheet with web page links or whatever someone may think is appropriate, cool saying , cool image, etc.. So if someone has a nice pointer to a graffiti / web page authoring tool please let me know ( I now about the mbone whiteboad and nt tools). One of the main topics of the meeting was sysinstall. Jordan agreed to generate a framework document to help guide the development of the new sysinstall and he made explicit that help from others in this area is welcome! On the bright side, I cornered the guys from Best and ask them why were they switching from SGI to FreeBSD . They main concern is the response time of problem resolutions from SGI which is typically 2 or 3 months and sometimes if they are lucky they get a response in 3 weeks. Obviously, for an ISP the size of Best this is not acceptable and this is were FreeBSD or Unix systems with sources really shines , it allows or gives the opportunity to organizations to attempt to resolve problems quicker than companies such as SGI. Perhaps we should try to hold the meetings twice a month for the next 2 or 3 months and with mbone connectivity we can easily turn this into a global event. Additionally, by holding the meetings twice a week it should make easier for people to make it to the meeting.
