I, on the other hand, have had major issues with Rogers and found their support staff to be useless. Any client on their 99. Network randomly loses routing to my servers for days at a time but they can get to other places on the internet just fine. If you fish around a bit they will find other

Chuck, Your a brave man to go to Rogers Home Phone. I've had bad experiences with both Bel Rogers, but Rogers being the worst. I have noticed that lately Rogers service response has improved, but at least in our area Home Phone outages happen all the time. I know 3 different people with it

It's fun been doing everything with shoe-string budgets, but it would be nice if we had a bit of cash coming in to cover incorporating the group, and then be able to properly accept sponsors for larger events. So I'm just testing the waters ... would anyone be interested in a) advertising in a

Simon: I suggested on this idea a while ago. I'm glad you are seeing the benefits. If you build, they will come. Advertising opportunities will come after the group has been properly incorporated as a non-profit, and/or charity. I got some heated email a while ago (off list) from people

Can we start an incorporation fund? I'd be willing to pitch in a few bucks for that, and I am sure I'm not the only one. Once we are a legal, non-profit entity, I for one would love to have a thank you sponsors page where benefactors can receive acknowlegement for contributions made. Nothing

There are huge benefits to doing this and it depends on where the group is going exactly. If there are big visions for the future, then yes, do it. If it is more of the same, with incremental improvements, I would keep it as is. This will be a LOT more work. As well, the warm and fuzzies will

I'd be in for providing some funds to get things moving, this group is an invaluable resource. Chuck brought up, about linking to TAUG, and this brought on the thought that Are we morphing? Have we evolved?. Maybe a question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we still TAUG or are we becoming

We evolved out of Simon's Ontario VoIP list, so in a sense we have always been more than just Asterisk-focused. You make a good point, though. Still, I think that I still like TAUG for at least the following reasons: 1) I just like the sound of it. Tee-Vug just doesn't quite do it for me, and

Well personally I have to agree with Mike that we have grown to be and constitute much more than just Asterisk users. I think it's a wonderful idea to incorporate and work on getting capital to do some interesting projects and meetings together, as Reza said, this involves dedication and some hard
