Hi All.

We held another successful Community Wireless Roundtable today with  
over ten participants from the US, Canada, South Africa, Italy,  
France and Taiwan.  I was thrilled that several new people were able  
to join the discussion.

You can listen to the audio file here (though the echo makes it  
somewhat difficult to hear):

wireless-roundtable-jan-8-2007/

I also have an IRC chat transcript if you would like a copy.

Below is a recap of the agenda items with links to relevant materials.

Agenda:
1. Attendance
2. Announcements
3. OPLAN Foundation (Please contact me if you would like a copy of  
the two-page document from the OPLAN Foundation that Malcolm Matson  
has prepared in order to review it and provide useful feedback to  
Malcolm.  This is a follow up to last month's discussion about ways  
that we can be more involved in the activities of the OPLAN  
Foundation.  In the coming days/weeks, please send your thoughtful  
but candid feedback directly to Malcolm and feel free to cc: the group.)

The February Community Wireless Roundtable will be Monday 2/5 at 11AM  
EST (4PM GMT).  Please mark your calendars.  Also, please download   
Gizmo (http://www.gizmoproject.com/) and an IRC client prior to the  
call.  You can conduct an echo test on Gizmo to be sure that your  
audio is routing through your headset rather than your computer's  
internal speakers.  If you don't have a headset, it might be a good  
idea to get one as this should minimize the echo and make for a  
better experience for everyone.  We've been using Colloquy (Mac) and  
MIMIRC (PC) for the IRC backchannel.

Here are the details of the conference call:

Through Gizmo:
Dial "CONFERENCE" (without the quotes)
Using the numeric keypad (bottom left corner icon of Gizmo window),  
enter the Room Number: 5355292

Through a land line phone:
In the US, call 1-712-432-4015
Enter the Room Number: 5355292

IRC backchannel:
server: irc.freenode.net
room: #cwr

If you have specific agenda items that you would like to discuss,  
please send them to me by Friday, February 3.  Thanks!

I hope that many of you will be able to participate!

Best,
Laura
