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.

*** Please note the updated meeting location below *** The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: VLAN Theory and Implementation VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allow you to partition a physical network at the data link layer, "creating the appearance and functionality of network traffic that is physically on a single network but acts as if it is split between separate networks." (Wikipedia) VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q) allows traffic from multiple VLANs to travel between Ethernet switches over the same physical link. In this presentation, Gilbert Detillieux will introduce some of the basic concepts of VLAN setup, and show you how this can be implemented. Examples of implementation will be given using Cisco IOS commands and typical Linux network interface configuration. RTFM: Kid3 This month, Wyatt Zacharias will present and demonstrate Kid3, the KDE ID3 tag editor.
