Professional or Hobbyist
If you're just looking to save a few dollars on your phone bill by creating a do-it-yourself custom phone system, TAUG's monthly presentations can be an invaluable learning tool. TAUG also holds hands-on workshops, seminars and install-fests to help you get started on your projects. The TAUG mailing list also provides a comfortable, low-key environment for asking questions or discussing problems.
Joining is free. Simply visit http://taug.ca/ and sign up to the mailing list. Meetings and events are all announced on the list. TAUG typically meets at 6:30pm on the last Wednesday of each month at North York Civic Centre.
