Eric, Firstly, congratulations! Eli might be too young for it right now, but a couple years ago I bought Isabelle a "Snap Circuits" kit: http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Snap-Circuits-SC-300-Physics/dp/B00CIXVIRQ It's been a hit in our house. I'm thinking of buying a copy of "Code Monkey Island": http://codemonkeyplanet.com/ Though I'd like to see the reviews first. Later, Tim.

I like the idea of doing the Asterisk/Telephony talk for Nov. Logan that would give you some time to polish your presentation, etc. I have no problem giving the talk on "Educational programs and toys that work with linux" for Dec that's a good lead into $GIFT_GIVING_HOLIDAY.

We just had our second and our first is super interested in things so I'm on board too. Telephony is also good for my job so no arguments here.

I have a 7 year old, so kids & education sounds great. Telephony would be a great topic as well.

I'd be willing to do a little presentation on Asterisk. I ran a server at WPI with Nortel UNISTIM and software SIP clients.

I would be interested in SIP & internet telephony. Would LOVE an open source, low cost (server) alternative to Skype. Not attached to when a presentation like this might happen, but would like to hear how someone made this work. Tried Ekiga and I think one other several years ago... it worked but the sound was horrible. Hopefully the technology has progressed considerably since then.

Funny I just wrote a program due to having young kids. I wondered how my oldest would do at spelling tests in first grade. I decided to whip up a game to test his spelling. Due to my son's obsession with Legos I used a Lego movie setting for the game. You play Batman trying to rescue people from some new think tanks. Each character has a password to release them based on them. Batman says what the word is an you have to spell it. Of course getting enough content in to be usable is taking time. My son's spelling words don't always work easily either. My sons have played with gcompris a little bit.

Start thinking? Was it Curly Howard who said: "I'm trying, but nothing happens"? Actually, I thought the young dude sitting next to me, whose name I forget, semi-voluteered to talk about SIP and internet telephony.

Topics for next meeting...

by Tim Keller

I figure we're half way through October at this point, we should start thinking about what we'd like talk about for a topic next month. One area that's of interest to me with young kids is educational programs that work on linux. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
