*Discussion*

Dennis noted that Cullen Jennings is no longer working on real-time
communications, and won't be able to join a call as a guest speaker.

On the last SIP.edu call, Dawn Augustino and Steve presented Penn's VoIP 
pilot,
called iPhone (see http://www.upenn.edu/computing/voice/voip/). They expect
iPhone to have over 800 users by this summer; Steve noted that users
particularly like the ability to configure their phones via a Web interface.

Dennis is planning a recruiting-oriented SIP.edu track session at the Member
Meeting, in addition to the previously-planned SIP.edu working group meeting.
