I need internet to demo Miro. Last time I checked, it took a lot of jumping through hoops to get a random computer on the WPI network. Is that still true? >>>>> "Chuck" == Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> writes: Chuck> Don't you have a laptop?

by Simon Kigo

I have a project consisting of setting up a prepaid phone card operation using Linux server, Trixbox and A2 Billing sofware. I have Trixbox running on a Centos Server right now, but there is more work to be done. I dont know if anyone has experience in this kind of setup or in VOIP area. If you do, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Depends on what kind of programming you want to do: low level drivers, OS internals, application, GUI, etc. Just find a project that interests you, join the developers mailing list, start to learn 'git' (or subversion or mercurial) for distributed development and then jump in. Oh, it also depends on which language(s) you are familiar with and want to program in as well.
