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.)

Reminder: MUUG Meeting Tonight, 7:30pm -- Round-table, Mingling and Munchies
by MUUG meeting announcements 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Howdy folks! A reminder that the MUUG meeting is tonight, December 10, with the following topic: Round-table, Mingling and Munchies As the year draws to a close, we've decided to continue our not-quite-yet-tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event. We'll have the usual round-table session, which can run longer than average since there's no pressure to fit the presentation in, followed by time for mingling and eating and drinking instead of the usual short coffee break. This will be a "pot-luck" event, like we've done in the past. Some food and drink will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring food to sample. Feel free to bring your own drink, too, if you want something particular just remember, please, that we don't have a liquor license! Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we're combining this with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. We'd like members to bring some non-perishable food item for donation to the food bank. They have information about what they're looking for on their website. Winnipeg Harvest has apparently been running a shortfall all year, and needs your donations! http://winnipegharvest.org/donate-food/ So, please come, one and all, with a snack item to share with the group, and a non-perishable food item for Winnipeg Harvest. Hope to see you there!... ***************************************************************** 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, October 8, 7:30pm -- Xataface

01 Oct '13

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Xataface This month Brad Vokey will (attempt to) give a demonstration of Xataface: an open-source, full-featured, web application framework for building front-ends to MySQL databases. Xataface auto-magically generates web forms, lists, menus, and more, so that non-technical end users can interact with MySQL databases safely and effectively using an easy to build custom web application. For this month's RTFM, Gilbert Detillieux will talk about the trap(1p) command, used for signal handling in Bourne shell scripts. Proper use of "trap" is important in coding scripts that clean up after themselves. 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 10, 7:30pm -- Cross-Platform GUI Programming
by MUUG meeting announcements 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Cross-Platform GUI Programming Cross-platform GUI programming is a reality today, not the pipe dream many imagine it to still be. Doing so effectively requires using cross-platform tools, however, which programmers may not have even heard of. Adam will demonstrate the Lazarus programming environment for Windows and Linux, showing how easy it is to build, debug and run the same program under either or both operating systems. For the RTFM, Kevin McGregor will present a pseudo-randomly chosen item from CLIMagic's Twitter feed! 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, June 11, 7:30pm -- LyX, Meld, Asymptote
by MUUG meeting announcements 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: LyX, Meld, Asymptote This month, we have three presenters giving short (5-10 minute) demonstrations of some software that they have found interesting. Adam Thompson will demonstrate LyX, a WYSIVRTWYG (What You See Is Vaguely Related To What You Get) document creation and editing front-end for TeX and LaTeX. Trevor Cordes will demonstrate Meld, a graphical diff viewer that's designed for those of us who will never be comfortable with text-based diff output syntax. And finally, Michael Doob will demonstrate Asymptote, a markup language for producing high-quality graphics, which, like TeX, separates the concepts of markup from presentation, allowing graphics to be drawn with very high precision. The June RTFM will feature Gilbert Detillieux talking about the dpkg(1), apt-get(8), apt-cache(8) and aptitude(8) commands, used for package management in Debian and similar Linux distributions. 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 1L06, 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.
