by MUUG meeting announcements 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Distributed Operating Systems Most people have heard about Cloud Computing; developers may have heard about MPI systems. What about an operating system that was distributed? Robert Keizer takes a look at different distributed operating systems and their uses, with details pertaining to Linux single-system-images such as OpenMosix, Kerrighed, and OpenSSI. The door prize this month also includes two 4U fileservers with triple redundant power supplies. 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 $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located behind the building on Webb Place. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: http://www.muug.mb.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Gilbert E.
