I'm wondering if anyone out there is running a community PBX for their local Asterisk User Groups or area Linux groups. I've been thinking of setting one up but am stuck as to what services to provide that people would actually find useful. I know that I could setup simple SIP->SIP to allow everyone to call each other, but that's not generally too fun.
