MUUG Board - Call for Nominations (FINAL)
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 20 Sep '02

20 Sep '02

Howdy folks! Just a reminder to all MUUG members that the nominations deadline is fast approaching. If you want to be nominated, or nominate someone else, you need to let us know by September 24. Please follow the procedure outlined below, and make sure you provide us with all the information we need. Since the announcement below appeared in the September MUUG Lines newsletter, we've only received confirmation of one additional nomination, which is that of Shawn Wallbridge. Now, I know we had a couple more people come forward at the meeting, but we need to have a formal nomination in writing. So, please do so ASAP. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations It's been quite some time since we've made a formal call for nominations, but it's long overdue. After adopting the MUUG by-laws in 1992, a formal election was held. The following two years, a call for nominations went out, but the end result was a board elected by acclamation. The records for the years that follow aren't clear, but it would appear that the same board members have stood by acclamation for quite some time. With the proposed amendments to the by-laws, on their 10th anniversary, we thought it appropriate to once again adhere to the election procedures outlined therein. The remaining three board members have all agreed to let their names stand again, so here is the initial list of nominees: Gilbert Detillieux Systems Analyst University of Manitoba Kevin McGregor Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg Doug Shewfelt Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg Of course, this list is just a starting point. Any member in good standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of one other member. If you feel you would like to contribute to the group by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so. (In fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.) If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board member. The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain the signatures of the nominee and one other member. The letter must be received no later than September 24, 2002, which is 14 days prior to the October 8 meeting. Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing, with signatures, you can speed up the process by also sending us e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the signed paper copy later. In this case, please include the e-mail address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication. If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process, please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during business hours, or by e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca> anytime.

MUUG Meeting, Sept 10, 7:30PM -- Network Traffic Monitoring

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups...] ------ Forwarded Article <al2r7b$8ic$2(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 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Network Traffic Monitoring with MRTG and SNMP At the January 9, 2001, meeting on Network Load Tuning, Gilbert Detillieux took us through some of the load and usage monitoring utilities that are available for UNIX, such as MRTG (available online), among others. However, the coverage of MRTG was rather brief, and didn't include any information on how to set it up. In this month's "Mini-HowTo" presentation, Gilbert will take us through MRTG in more detail, including how to set up a configuration file to monitor a network interface, and some of the configuration options that can be used to tune the output. The presentation will also briefly cover setting up SNMP under Linux, so that MRTG can get interface statistics from it, plus (time permitting) some tips on how to secure that setup. The meeting will also include our usual round-table discussion, plus some preliminary discussion on the proposed by-law amendments and the call for nominations for the MUUG board. 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 new meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.
