August 19th 2013 Pi PBX, Turing's curse and HTML5 update

Brian told us ‘the things that don’t go into the guides’ as far as using FreePBX on the Raspberry Pi is concerned, including:

• getting at least a Class 10 SD card

• setting up static IPs

• getting a free domain name from DynDNS

• getting a UK DID

• setting up the PBX using the FreePBX web interface

• explaining the differences between inbound routes, outbound routes and trunks

• installing chan_dongle to handle mobile ’phones.

These are Brian’s slides.

David S showed us John Graham-Cumming’s Turing’s curse, a brilliant talk from OSCON; here is the link to the slides.

John H summarised the key changes to the HTML5 specification in the past year.

There is an updated summary of HTML5 which omits the Javascript material included in last year’s version. This is now in a separate summary Some_notes_on_Javascript.

David C drew our attention to the following items:

• the CiviCRM sprint on 13-15 October

• the first batch of videos from Libre Planet 2013

• the official datasets for bus stops and places which the UK Department for Transport and Traveline have offered to make available to OpenStreetMap project

• the Bradford City Council audit of cycle parking.

Alice K reminded us that Wuthering Bytes, a weekend festival of technology is happening in Hebden Bridge next month.
