What is MUUG?

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) is a local group of computer users, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, who share an interest in UNIX®, Linux, and open systems technology. MUUG's main objective is to allow members to meet others with similar interests, providing a forum for sharing ideas and information about open systems and their applications. MUUG was affiliated with UniForum Canada, when it existed.

MUUG is comprised of members from the education, government and business communities, with varying levels of UNIX experience. From its humble beginnings in 1986, the group has grown from about 15 members to over 50 today.

The group meets at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. Meeting locations and presentation topics vary, but are always announced in advance in the monthly newsletter. Membership fees are $20 per year.

MUUG also has a few mailing lists, which are used to announce upcoming events, and allow members (and anyone interested in UNIX and Linux) to exchange information.

MUUG's operation is governed by a set of by-laws ratified by the members.

Membership and Information Contacts

For more information, send us an e-mail (to membership@muug.ca for membership requests, or to info@muug.ca for general information and questions).

Membership Application Form

We aren't yet set up for on-line membership registration for new members. To apply for membership, you can download our application form (available in two convenient formats)...

Fill out the form (electronically, or print, fill and scan), and e-mail it to membership@muug.ca. For the time being, due to COVID-19 closures, do not send mail to our postal address.

Or, simply e-mail us, and provide the equivalent information; we can then add you to our mailing list, so you receive a sample newsletter and application form. Alternatively, just show up at one of our monthly meetings. (Guests are always welcome!)

Membership Fee Payment

We accept fee payments ($20/year, for new members or renewals) in the following ways:

Cash (only at in-person meetings)
Cheque (only in-person at the moment - no postal mail, please)
Interac e-Transfers:
- Must be sent to payments@muug.ca.
- Indicate your membership number (for renewals, if you have it handy), full name, and e-mail address in the message field, or send us a separate e-mail with this (so we know which member is paying).
Credit Card (Visa or Mastercard only):
- Pay via Square
- Indicate your membership number (for renewals, if you have it handy), full name, and e-mail address in the appropriate fields, or send us a separate e-mail with this (so we know which member is paying).
PayPal:
- You'll need to use the custom link for your membership.
- You will receive this by e-mail when you're due for renewal.
- You can also request this link from us by e-mail.
- For new members, use another form of payment, or register first, then request PayPal link by e-mail.

MUUG is funded in part thanks to the generous support of our corporate sponsors.

MUUG also operated a Linux/System-Administration SIG (special interest group), which used to have its own monthly meetings. We now meet as part of the general monthly meetings.

MUUG has played a leading role in introducing the Internet to Winnipeg's computing community. (This began in 1992, with an online service called MONA, which then evolved into today's MUUG Online.) As a way of continuing that role, we are making several FLOSS distributions available on our local mirror.
