A reminder that the MUUG meeting is happening, both in-person and
online, this evening...
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting in person and online, on Tuesday, May 5th, at 7:30pm.
XigmaNAS
Ken Wong will do a guided tour on modernizing XigmaNAS for
OpenZFS. XigmaNAS is one of the longest-running NAS solutions,
which has its roots traced back to FreeNAS. Ken will talk about
how it is built, how it operates, highlighting modernization
efforts, what "dragons" are encountered along the way, and areas
for future work.
We are in for an exclusive and early treat, as BSDCan (the
definitive BSD event in North America), has asked Ken to do this
presentation at BSDCan later this June in Ottawa. Save money on
flight/hotel/tickets and join us!
Where to find the Meeting:
Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary?s Road, 2nd
Floor
WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South
from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside
the Miller's Meats. It's in the old fire hall, so you really
can't miss it! Look for the red door.
There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb
a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility.
There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the
building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not,
there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager
Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard
Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots
unless otherwise indicated.
For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the
meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay
tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will
be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts.
(Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are
issues with connecting.)
The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* 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.
