MUUG Meeting, Dec 9, 7:30pm -- Real-Time Mapping with *ouchDB
by MUUG meeting announcements 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Mingling and Pot Luck As 2014 draws to a close, MUUG has decided to continue our new tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event. This will be a totally pot-luck event. Cookies and pop will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring their own 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! Real-Time Mapping with *ouchDB (CouchDB/PouchDB) After the mingling and munching, Robert Keizer will be presenting how he set up a very simple real-time map using an Android phone and some JavaScript. The talk will focus on separating the data layers and some of the nice features in *ouchDB. Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we are combining our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. We would love it if each member would bring at least 1 non-perishable food item for donation to the food bank! Winnipeg Harvest has apparently been running a shortfall all year, and needs your donations, particularly at this time of year! They have 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 1L08, Lockhart 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 18, 7:30pm -- LiveCode
by MUUG meeting announcements 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: LiveCode This month, Brad Vokey will give a demonstration of LiveCode: an open source, cross-platform, rapid application development language. LiveCode evolved from MetaCard (the original Unix HyperCard clone) into becoming a true cross-platform IDE capable of running on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, and several variations of Unix including Linux, Solaris, and BSD. It can be used to write mobile, desktop and server/CGI applications and is the most widely used HyperCard/HyperTalk clone. LiveCode uses a high level, English-like programming language that is dynamically typed and tightly integrated to your program's interface. The language and compile-free work flow generate code that is self-documenting and very easy for casual programmers to comprehend. As this month's RTFM topic, Wyatt Zacharias will compare and contrast the curl(1) and wget(1) commands. Please note change in meeting date for this month. This month's meeting is also the Annual General Meeting, where we will have an election (most likely by acclamation) for the new MUUG board of directors for the 2014-2015 year. 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 1L08, Lockhart 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, Sept 9, 7:30pm -- Sage
by MUUG meeting announcements 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Sage Sage is a free open-source program that allows (in the style of Mathematica or Maple) various types of symbolic manipulation. As described on the web page, Sage is built out of nearly 100 open-source packages and features a unified interface. It can be used to study elementary and advanced, pure and applied mathematics. This includes a huge range of mathematics, including basic algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, exact linear algebra and much more. It combines various software packages and seamlessly integrates their functionality into a common experience. It is well-suited for education and research. The user interface is a notebook in a web browser or the command line. Using the notebook, Sage connects either locally to your own Sage installation or to a Sage server on the network. Inside the Sage notebook you can create embedded graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions, add and delete input, and share your work across the network. Michael Doob will be our presenter. Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Rob Keizer will talk about the tmux(1) command. 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 1L08, Lockhart 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, April 8, 7:30pm -- OpenCart
by MUUG meeting announcements 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: OpenCart Want to sell something on the net? This month Brad Vokey will be presenting on OpenCart -- a powerful open source shopping cart system that is feature rich and user friendly. OpenCart is a robust e-commerce solution for internet merchants to create their own online business and participate in e-commerce at minimal cost. It includes an intuitive admin interface that allows you to have complete control over your store. It also has thousands of high end themes available and integrates with hundreds of payment gateways and shipping integrations. There is also a thriving OpenCart extension market with over 12,000 extensions currently written for it (and more being added all the time). If there is something you need your store to do, there is probably an extension already written for it. If there isn't, or if you don't like the price someone is charging for their extension, you can simply add the code yourself, add it to the OpenCart store, and maybe make a little money selling your extension to others. For this month's RTFM, Michael Doob will talk about PDFtk -- A handy tool for manipulating PDF. 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 1L08, Lockhart 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.
