Hello, good people of Compsoc,

You should come to tonight's talk!

Mobile VoIP - Will VoIP learn to walk in 2007? ==============================================

When: Thursday 1st March, 20.00 (tonight!) Where: Denis Sciama Lecture Theatre, Denys Wilkinson Building[1]

Peter Gradwell of Gradwell dot com[2] will be speaking to us on the possibilities of combining mobile devices with Voice over IP technology:

The past two years have seen much development in the VoIP fixed handset market, and anyone who is purchasing a small office phone system would be silly to ignore it. But what about those who are mobile? Can VoIP be used in the mobile environment, who has working products and what are the challenges of making a call from a Wi-Fi hotspot?

We'll have someone at the entrance to let you in. If you're late, you'll be stuck outside, since there's no phobile reception in the lecture theatre. If you're likely to get there late, phone or SMS or email someone (possibly even by hitting reply!) and we'll see what we can do.

Also, you might like to know what happened at last night's AGM. The 2007-08 committee was elected:

President: Andrew Godwin Secretary: Martin Smith Treasurer: David North

The minutes of the meeting will be on the interglobal tubosphere Real Soon Now(TM). The new committee will be at tonight's talk, so if you want to complain at them about how much you hated us, tonight would be a good opportunity. I promise to try not to listen carefully.
