Howdy folks!
I thought I'd pass this along to the MUUG mailing lists. I'll
likely announce it at the next MUUG meeting, but the April 1st
early registration deadline will have passed by then.
MUUG is not sponsoring or in any way affiliated with this event,
but I thought it might be of interest to members...

Subject: Mid Canada Information Security Conference (MCISC)
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 21:04:45 -0600
Organization: IPAM
Message-ID: <008b01c2edc4$4cce8110$016fa8c0@PoolRoom>
Hi MUUG,
The Information Protection Association of Manitoba (
<http://www.ipam.mb.ca/> www.ipam.mb.ca) is hosting an information
security conference on April 30, 2003 at the Winnipeg Convention Center.
Obviously, security is an area of interest that MUUG and IPAM members
share.
MCISC brings together the implementers and developers of the hottest
information security technologies. The conference avoids the "just
another sales presentation" stigma and gets world experts to deliver
real technical education to attendees.
While the conference is supported by vendor sponsorship, the event is
totally non-profit, is offered at a reasonable attendee cost ($50
including lunch till April 1), and helps further the goals of IPAM,
which are:
* To bring together industry professionals to present and discuss
information security challenges and solutions.
* To build understanding of the most recent trends and
developments in the industry.
* To share ideas, experience and insights into technical aspects
of information systems security.
* To enhance management and control of information systems
security.
* To develop contacts with other individuals, organizations and
suppliers in the industry.
I would be happy to provide any additional information about the
conference for your membership.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, March 11. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Wiki and TWiki
Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create
and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports
hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and
crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. We will focus on a Wiki
implementation called TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use
Web-based collaboration platform. Use TWiki to run a project
development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or
any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web
content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser.
Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API.
Bill Reid will be presenting this month's topic.
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.

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!
