MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, Dec 2, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck
by MUUG meeting announcements 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, December 2nd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck As 2025 draws to a close, MUUG continues the now 14-year-old traditon of turning the December meeting into more of an informal, social event. Kevin Abedi has graciously arranged to let us use Skullspace, at 374 Donald St., as our venue again. We will have our usual round-table session, as well as a few show-&-tell items presented. Bring your favourite gadget! We will have the usual (brief) round-table session, some time for mingling, eating, and drinking, maybe followed by a couple short gadget show-&-tell presentations, and then more time for mingling, eating, and drinking. This will be an in-person pot-luck snack event! Members are encouraged to bring their own food to sample and share with others. (Finger food works best.) Feel free to bring your own special drink as well - just remember that we don't have a liquor license! But please, stay home if you are sick. We will also attempt to simulcast the live round-table and short presentations over BigBlueButton for those that can't attend in person for any reason, whether snow, or sleet, or illness. Where to Find the Meeting: Skullspace, at 374 Donald St. We will be in room 200. Please note that this location is not mobility accessible. There are 3 flights of stairs and it is 1.5 stories up. There is no Winnipeg Jets home game on December 2nd so close downtown street parking should be plentiful and easy to find. One of the best blocks for street parking is Notre Dame after Hargrave. There are also several commercial parking lots in the area including right behind the Skullspace building. The F8 bus route has a southbound stop (#10667) on the same block of Donald, in front of the Yellow Dog Tavern. It's also reasonable to walk from stops on Graham, Portage, Smith, King, and Notre Dame. Doors will be open starting at 7:15 pm with the meeting starting at 7:30 pm. After 7:45 pm the doors may be locked so you will need to call the Skullspace number (204-480-4092) and we'll answer and come down to let you in. Food Bank Donations Requested As in previous years, we are combining our pot luck event with a food drive for Harvest Manitoba. Any member who donates at least $1 or brings at least 1 food item will be given an entry into the door prize! Just like last year, any cash donation made to Harvest Manitoba at this event will be matched dollar for dollar by Bradford Vokey (up to a total $500 limit)! Last year MUUG members donated $128 (an appropriate power of 2) which Brad had to match for a total donation of $256 to Harvest Manitoba. Let's all chip in to make Brad donate more! Top 10 Most-Wanted Food Items 1. Canned Fruit 6. Pasta Sauce 2. Canned Soup/Stew 7. Rice 3. Canned Tuna 8. Peanut Butter 4. Canned Vegetables 9. Baby Formula/Food 5. Pasta 10. Instant Oatmeal Online option: 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.

Reminder: MUUG Meeting, Tonight, Nov 4, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- RTFM: /bin Diving x 2
by MUUG meeting announcements 04 Nov '25

A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person and online. See below for details on NEW LOCATION... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, November 4th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... RTFM: /bin Diving, Deutero-leanin' We are keeping it simple and interactive this month: a double /bin dive. Trevor Cordes will be walking us through the fun. /bin diving is a segment where we select a command at random on the spot and everyone gets to work out what it does and what it's good for. Collaboration and improv at its finest. It always ends up being interesting and you're guaranteed to learn something new! AGM Plus, this month's meeting will be the MUUG annual general meeting, which includes the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2025-2026 year (usually by acclamation). Where to find the Meeting: **NOTE NEW LOCATION** 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.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, June 3th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... RawTherapee Wyatt Zacharias has volunteered to give us a quick demo of RawTherapee. Take your photography to the next level with RawTherapee. Modern DSLR (and now mirrorless) camera sensors are capable of capturing dynamic range far beyond what a standard 8-bit JPG can display. By capturing the raw sensor data from the camera we can access up to 14 bits of dynamic range and adjust our photos non-destructively and without any loss of quality. RawTherapee provides a full suite of photo editing tools including color correction, white balance, noise and distortion correction, and many more. RTFM: /bin Diving 5.0, The Brazilian Strikes Back! Due to overwhelming meeting participation (and a little board member peer pressure), we have somehow convinced our Brazilian board member, Alberto Abrao, to take a spin at trying to figure out what a random /bin command does, live.
