There is a little over a week to go before nominations for the MUUG board close... ----- This is a call for nominees to participate in the election for the MUUG board. Those elected will serve from October 2003 until October 2004. The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is September 30, 2003. Instructions follow. The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other events by the group. It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group. All are encouraged to apply. ----------------------- MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass any special resolutions. (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting) Any member in good standing can be nominated to run for a position. As of this writing, the following people have been nominated. Gilbert Detillieux Kevin McGregor Doug Shewfelt Adam Thompson To put your name on the list, do the following: 1. Ensure your membership is in good standing (ie do you have to renew?) 2. Find another member willing to second your nomination 3. Email your nomination to <election(a)muug.mb.ca>, with a CC to your seconder 4. Get your seconder to send an email to <election(a)muug.mb.ca> indicating their support for your nomination It is important to include the following information in your nomination: Name, Title, Employer/Occupation, short (100 word) biography. Without this information, we can't put together the list of nominees to give to the rest of the members, can we? In the event the number of nominees is fewer than the number of vacant positions, all will be accepted by acclamation. If there are more, decision will be made by secret ballot at the Annual Meeting. Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found at http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/bylaws/. Any questions about the election or the nomination process can be directed to Sean Walberg at the election(a)muub.mb.ca mailbox, or by phone at 975-5987 during business hours. Again, the deadline for nominations is September 30, 2003, with the election being held at the October 14th meeting. Good luck to all, Sean Walberg -- Sean A.

[Posted to muug.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <bj2vv5$sqk$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 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Regular Expressions In our September meeting Steve Moffat will be talking about Regular Expressions. Some say the "Generalized Regular Expression Parser", or grep, may be the most frequently used command in Unix. Using this simple command more effectively can save you time and give you better results every day. Whether it is grep, egrep, fgrep, perl, or any of the other programs that use or support text pattern matching, you can use Unix better if you know what Regular Expressions can do for you. 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.
