According to this conferences are created on-the-fly.  I'm missing what 
exists to be controlled.

When a conference is closed have it automatically pushed to the calendar 
with everyone who joined as a partcipant?  I really wish our PBXs did that, 
 would be endlessly useful....  But this would be an entirely asterisk side 
thing (but would belong in the docs plone!)

That's what I mean:  enhance asterisk. :)

I can't imagine an organization wanting more than one presence 
system/method.  It seems like you'd want extensions to update their 
presence; and XMPP is a ubiquitous standard.
