[TriLUG] April 12 meeting

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Yeah we only need enough outbound access to be able to run the 
installer, download Thunderbird etc.  If peer networking is open then 
that could make for a fun experiment.  The idea is those who want to can 
set up meldware and someone can set up DNS MX records and they can send 
each other email, filter it, create meetings, send calendar invites, 
etc.  The idea is to make things a bit more interactive.
