The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, January 13. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
RT: Request Tracker
RT is an enterprise-grade ticketing system under developent since
1996 which enables a group of people to intelligently and
efficiently manage tasks, issues, and requets submitted by a
community of users.
RT has undergone a lot of development in the last few years that
makes it even more flexible and usable for everyone from 1-man
"teams" to 10,000-strong communities, from tracking my shopping list
(OK, maybe not...) to streamlining tech support and customer contact
for huge enterprises.
"How do you take an disorganized, overworked, overstressed, and
unmanagable sysadmin in a small company and make him an organized
and managable sysadmin? Install RT and tell him that if it's not in
RT it doesn't exist." - Paolo Supino, Telmap
Adam Thompson has researched, evaluated and implemented ticketing
systems from software defect-management to customer management and
everything in between, for over ten years. So far RT is the most
flexible solution he's found and has personally used it for both his
personal ToDo list and network infastructure servicing 10,000+
clients.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm 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: 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 7:15pm,
so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not
be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required
to show photo ID at the security desk.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice
Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also
available nearby, at Portage Place, for $3.00 for the evening. Bicycle
parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located
behind the building on Webb Place.
