Yes! Same speaker for both meetings this month.
For the March, 2006 meeting Mr. Dennis Boylan will be
presenting his quasi-annual “State of the TiVo� address, keeping
us up to date on the latest developments and hacks for the Linux
based TiVo media technology.
Dennis is a long standing member of ALE who has been active in
supporting the ALE NE meeting since it’s inception. His knowledge
of Linux and networking is extensive and he regularly presents for
ALE meetings on a broad array of topics. His greatest “super geek�
distraction, however, is the TiVo, and with 6 different TiVo
models in his home he can clearly be classified as a TiVo-holic.
DTiVo hacking demonstration
We’ll be hacking a Series 2 DTiVo to allow multi-room viewing (MRV)
and allow access via telnet and tivowebplus. We’ll also be converting
a DSR7000 into a remote viewing box.
We will be doing a 2005 year in review, looking at the past NE meetings from 2005 and updating with new current information. This will be an ad-hoc and should cover lots of items such as Linksys hacking, Asterisk, and more.
We will be demonstrating Asterisk@Home along with other cool VoIP technologies.
“The Asterisk@Home project enables the home user to quickly set up a VOIP Asterisk PBX. A web GUI makes configuration and operation easy. We also provide an xPL (home automation) interface for easy interaction with other devices in the home.”

Late breaking:
We will also have a new beta version of a Sangoma FXO/FXS card on hand to show. This card will be added to the product portfolio here: Sangoma TDM Products
We will be discussing and showing different bootable cd, dvd, or usb flash Linux distros such as Knoppix and others you may not be familiar with.
If you have a favorite bootable distro then bring it and we’ll (you’ll) show it. We encourage participation from the attendees here. If you want to bring a specific distro then let me know and I’ll try and make sure that nobody else brings the same one.
