Reminder: MUUG Online Meeting, Tonight, Feb 9, 7:30pm -- OBS Studio workflow

09 Feb '21

A reminder that the MUUG online meeting will be on Jitsi this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, February 9th, at 7:30pm: OBS Studio workflow Wyatt Zacharias will give an overview of OBS Studio. Open Broadcaster Software is a free and open-source software suite that provides real-time capture, scene composition, encoding, recording and broadcasting! Have you ever noticed that some live video looks professional? They have multiple camera angles, flashy titles (not to be confused with Adobe Flash), social media tickers and clear audio, while other streams are just painful to watch and look like it's done on a shaky old cell phone? One of the possible reasons for this is the effort put into polishing the video with a software suite like OBS Studio. So whether you want to take your streaming video business presentations to the next level, enhance your gaming livestream on Twitch or similar platform, or you want to make your live webcam shows appear more professional - you do not want to miss this presentation!

08 Dec '20

A reminder that the MUUG online meeting will be on Jitsi this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting online, on Tuesday, December 8th, at 7:30pm: Extended Round-Table and Show-and-Tell We have a tradition of making the December meeting more of an informal, social gathering. This year, because we're meeting online, we've had to let go of some of the traditional aspects of this year-end meeting (like food), but we'll try to keep some. *Show us your favourite gadget!* As part of an extended round-table discussion, we'll try to keep the gadget show-and-tell. (This year, you don't have to haul it to the meeting site, but it will have to be small enough to show on your webcam!) If you have a cool device, something unusual, whether brand new or ready for the museum, there will be an opportunity to show it off. RTFM: cal(1) - A Histori-cal Look at Calendar Reform As part of the September 2016 meeting, we looked at cal(1), and its ilk (ncal and gcal), mostly from a utilitarian point of view. This time, we'll look at some of the historical development of this command, as well as some strange quirks of calendar reform. Why was the year 2000 a leap year, but 1900 wasn't? (At least for most of the world.) Why was 1700 a leap year in many Protestant countries, but not in Roman Catholic ones? What was going on in 1752 for England and her colonies? Gilbert Detillieux will answer these questions, as we delve into the politics and religion involved in calendar reform. Join the meeting: https://jitsi.merlin.mb.ca/muug.2020.12 Winnipeg Harvest We won't be able to collect food and cash donations this year, but please remember that the needs for some may be greater than usual. We encourage you to donate to Winnipeg Harvest, or your favourite local charity. https://winnipegharvest.org/donate/ The group holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June.
