So, PulverMedia gave us a bit of a surprise -- we've been given a booth at VON, in addition to them hosting our next meeting. Which means we shoud likely put together a flyer and banner asap, as it's only about 10 days away.
What I'm thinking of is getting those /\/ style flyers printed at Staples. What message would we like to deliver to the masses? Maybe something like: - What is Asterisk & open source - Who we are / what we've done - Why we're relevant - How to Join - Upcoming Events I could certainly use some help filling that out a bit ;-) As a start, this is what we say on our website: Our mission is to promote the use and success of open source telephony. While we are centred in the Greater Toronto Area, we welcome members, guests and participants from anywhere. The only requirement is an enthusiasm for open source telephony! Founded in November of 2004, the Toronto Asterisk Users' Group (TAUG - pronounced "tog"), was started as a result of a posting Jim Van Meggelen made on the Asterisk Users list, wanting to know whether anyone in the Toronto area wanted to have a social gathering of Toronto-area Asterisk fans. Within moments, Shidan Gouran organized a meetup group site, and presto, TAUG was born. From those humble beginnings (we had over 20 people show up to out first event), we grew to over 100 members within half a year. Moving forward, TAUG is building a user group that is more than just social gatherings: we sponsor and organize various talks, seminars and events that help to promote Asterisk, and assist people in understanding it. Welcome to TAUG!
