Don't be late, or you may not get in. I've received quite a few phone calls and e-mail queries about this, so I thought I'd let everyone know... *** The MUUG meeting is still on for tonight, as previously scheduled. *** Steve Moffat, our MUUG contact at IBM, has been in touch with the building security staff at the TD Centre, and they've told him that there will be no problem with us having access to the building after hours. So, it's business as usual. Apparent rumours about the TD Centre having been evacuated are nothing more than rumours. Hope to see you at the meeting, despite today's tragic events. -- Gilbert E.

I've since found out that the Albert Street parkade has raised its evening/weekend rate to $2. You'll need to buy two $1 tickets (a loonie or 4 quarters for each of the two tickets) if you wish to park there for the evening of the meeting. -- Gilbert E.

MUUG Meeting, Sept 11, 7:30PM -- Linux At The Movies

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <9n31q6$m2t$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Linux At The Movies Final Fantasy, Shrek, Pearl Harbor, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, and The Matrix. What do all these movies have in common? Linux. Linux was used in some way during the production of each movie. Some were rendered completely on Linux, some used Linux for specialized tasks. This presentation will cover what software is available for the budding filmmaker running Linux. And we will answer the question: "Can you make a movie entirely under Linux?" Shawn Wallbridge is the Systems Administrator at Frantic Films, one of Canada's leading Visual Effects studios. Shawn has covered network security topics under Linux at previous MUUG meetings, and returns for the September meeting with what should be a visually interesting presentation. So, we'll see you... At The Movies! The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. Please note our meeting location: IBM Canada's offices in the TD Centre, at the corner of Portage and Main. We gather in the lobby on the main floor - please try to be there by about 7:15 PM. Steve Moffat will then take us up to the meeting room just before the meeting starts at 7:30. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Parking is available either in the parkade behind the TD building, off Albert Street, or in the ground level lot just north of the TD building. Entrance to the lot is from Albert Street, behind the parkade. Either way, parking is a $1.25 flat rate for the evening. You purchase your ticket from a dispenser, so make sure you've got exact change - a loonie and a quarter, or 5 quarters.
