TOPICS DISCUSSED:
- Sameer's researching how we might start a VoIP-on-XO project--we have several connections within Asterisk/Digium and this need not be SIP--I strongly favor this prjct, keep recruiting!

- Why killing old mailing lists is not always a good idea (regional/specialty long tails live?!) Merging similar lists can help :)
- Anil & others agreeing to Mentor Projects -- this is becoming /MUCH/ more fulfilling volunteering that G1G1 customer service -- plz adopt a Contributors Program project in this rapidly growing list here:

- Guilty of "Projecting"? As charged, thank you Shrink; we want Stronger Projects growing into the future, as Contributors Program 2.0 is slowly coming together at last, allowing us to build the culture we need to shape CP v3.0 -- thanks to Sameer's students, Molecular.com's possible Social Network volunteering, etc.
- Caryl's ridiculous amount of work pamphleteering & showing off OLPC at http://SoCalLinuxExpo.org and all the great contacts she, JPfeiffer, Scorche & all made.
- How you (anyone) can really help http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_FAQ evolve & mature by digesting http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_meetings#Meeting_notes so these tricks are /even more/ approachable!
- Why John Watlington (Wad, OLPC VP of hardware) still doesn't want motherboards sold. Particularly those given free to seed community repair centers ;)
- Questions about the 20 Peru and 20 Uruguay internships expected this summer:
