by MUUG meeting announcements 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Zenworks: The Other CM Heard about ZENworks but never really seen it? In this month's presentation, Katherine Scrupa will be discussing her trials and tribulations with Novell's Configuration and Systems Management suite. Learn how to control the behaviour of software bundles, which bugs and gotchas to watch out for, and discover new version features in the 11.3 version of ZCM. Round-table, Mingling and Munchies As 2015 draws to a close, MUUG is going to continue our recent tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event. We will have the usual round-table session, followed by a presentation, and then have some time for mingling, eating, and drinking. This will be a pot-luck snack event. Cookies and pop will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring their own finger food to sample and share. Feel free to bring your own drink as well if you want something particular - just remember that we don't have a liquor license! Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we are combining our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. This month, any member who brings at least 1 item for Winnipeg Harvest to the December meeting will be given an entry into the door prize draw! Winnipeg Harvest has information about what they're looking for on their website: http://winnipegharvest.org/donate-food/ 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 *NEW* meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba 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.

MUUG Meeting, Nov 10, 7:30pm -- Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana
by MUUG meeting announcements 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana Robert Keizer will be doing a presentation on Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. The presentation will focus on running these systems in a production environment. Elasticsearch is a highly available NoSQL distributed database which is primarily used for real-time and deep searching. When used in conjunction, these systems provide a very robust and feature-complete solution for enterprise log management. Rob will go through setting up and installing all three systems, as well as provide an overview and example of these systems. RTFM For this month's RTFM, Gilbert Detillieux will talk about the getcap(8) and setcap(8) commands, used to control Linux capabilities(7) as an alternative to using setuid-root binaries. This provides a safer way of allowing unprivileged users to execute operations normally requiring root permission. AGM Plus, this month's meeting is the MUUG annual general meeting, which included the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2015-2016 year (which will be by acclamation). There is also a notice of motion to ammend the MUUG by-laws. 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 *NEW* meeting location for this month: *Room 1M28* Manitoba 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.

In this month's presentation, Trevor Cordes will discuss using git-bisect(1), in a process from bug discovery through to kernel patch commit. This isn't some dry, isolated git rehash either: you'll see how to leverage distro resources and integrate them with "vanilla", all from a non-kernel hacker perspective. You'll also learn how to get the necessary attention of the appropriate movers and shakers. Wrapped in a riveting story containing angry wives, Downton Abbey, and a twist ending, this is one presentation you don't want to miss! This month's RTFM segment will feature fail2ban(1), a versatile tool for blocking network abusers, presented by Gilbert Detillieux. 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.)
