I think your are mixing to very distinct features:
MeetMe: Is a virtual conference room (meetme appliation of asterisk)
FollowMe: Is a piece of dialplan, a mix agi and/or asterisk db that
allows to forward an internal extension to an other place (internal or
external).
Both of these have modules under freePBX.
The followme (once activated for an extension) can be manipulated by the user
through the ARI portal.

I had to think....
In the more recent releases of FreePBX (that is the GUI for Trixbox and
Elastix)there is the functality to
change the ring group from the place you want calls to be sent, this then becomes
"Meet-me".In FreePBX
this is done by a web portal for the user using the "ARI" package thats
included in the distro, but if you
can't get to a web browser what do you do?
That being said....It would be nice to have a Follow-Me/Meet-me feature.
I'm hopeless at writing code (Java is still a cup of coffee to me) but it
doesn't sound to difficult to
write.
Outside call dials a feature code [*XX]
Voice prompt then asks for a PIN number or extension
If this is valid voice prompt asks if:
1).The current CID is where the call should be sent. (press "#") ---"Meet-me"
2).Enter the phone number you want to calls to ring in the future. - "Follow-me"
