[asterisk-dev] Mantis Issue Review Meeting Notes

[Jure Petrovic]

Hey, 

I must say that I like imagination.
But don't you think you had a little bit too much of
Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster? 

Just kidding:)

Regards, 
Jure


> Absolutely. We need to do some serious future research, like the

> Maybe we should ask the community for some input on requirements
