MUUG Meeting, June 12, 7:30pm -- Perl PDF::Reuse, RTFM: Pioneer
by MUUG meeting announcements 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Perl PDF::Reuse Brad Vokey will give a brief demonstration of how to mass produce similar (but not identical) PDF documents in Perl by re-using a starting PDF file as a template. Perl::Reuse is very fast, and gives you the capacity to produce many PDF pages per second creating very big PDF documents if necessary. RTFM: Pioneer Pioneer - A game of lonely space adventure - will be demonstrated by Trevor Cordes. Not just a game, Pioneer is a full-blown space simulator with realistic Newtonian physics. After you figure out how to not crash into planets or over-shoot space stations by mega-kms; explore the planets and other star systems, work as a trader to make a few bucks, or arm up and become a pirate or assassin. Beautiful spacescapes make this a demo worth seeing! The group holds its 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 new meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.

MUUG Meeting, May 8, 7:30pm -- LISA Review and Intro to Docker, systat
by MUUG meeting announcements 01 May '18

01 May '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: LISA Review and Intro to Docker Katherine Scrupa will summarize her experience from the training portion of the 31st annual Large Installation System Administration conference. The training section had a devops-heavy focus, including Docker, Golang, PostgreSQL, Git, tuning, and CI/CD. Katherine will also give a beginner-level demonstration of Docker containers. RTFM: systat UNIX systems in the 1990s routinely came with terminal-based system performance-monitoring tools. Linux and FreeBSD unfortunately did not continue this tradition with the exception of [44]top(1). OpenBSD has had standard system monitoring tools since inception, but in 1995 they added systat(1), a full-screen system monitor designed to run on the console or in a terminal. Adam will demonstrate the use of systat(1) and describe some of the interesting details it displays that are still difficult to get today on other systems. The group holds its 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 new meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.

MUUG Meeting, Mar 13, 7:30pm -- PostgreSQL, ulimit/limit
by MUUG meeting announcements 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: PostgreSQL: Who, What, Where, When, Why Adam Thompson will talk about the PostgreSQL open-source relational database: who should use it, what's it all about, where do you find it, a little bit of its history, and the rationale behind its current existence. PostgreSQL is the leading OSS RDBMS for non-trivial applications, scales to enterprise and beyond (petascale), and has features that let it compete directly with Oracle. In fact, there's a commercial edition that you can buy specifically to replace Oracle! RTFM: ulimit/limit Gilbert Detillieux will present an RTFM on ulimit(1), as well as the csh/tcsh equivalent, limit(1). This is a shell built-in command for displaying and setting various per-process resource limits, using the setrlimit(2) system call. The group holds its 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 for this month: *Room 1C16A* Centennial Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence St. and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.

Free Open Data Event - December 2 2017
by MUUG meeting announcements 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

Greetings, There is an upcoming Open Data event put on by North Forge! If you're interested in looking at the City of Winnipeg's open data and working with other people to do cool stuff with it, you should attend. I'm helping to organize it! You should register and come down! http://odw2017.ca/ http://northforge.ca/open-data-winnipeg-2017/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-data-winnipeg-2017-tickets-39533118622 How would you use open data to improve the lives of Winnipeggers? A GPS-based live feed of current air quality conditions? A visualized ‘persona’ of every neighbourhood based on census data? Or discover and visualize a correlation between the number of trees on a street and traffic congestion? Whether you are a hacker, developer, statistician or new to open data, join us for a fun-filled day of imagination, collaboration, and coding. We’ll be using the City of Winnipeg’s open data to present to meaningful and fresh ideas on how data can improve the lives of Winnipeggers. All the best, Rob -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.
