enormous possibilities! Kevin will talk about his particular
experience with the SheevaPlug and his planned use for it.

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:
SuseStudio
SuseStudio is an online virtual appliance builder based on OpenSUSE.
"Build an appliance or your own custom Linux distro with a few mouse
clicks. Customize it to your heart's content, and share it with the
world!" It is quite astonishing what this site/tool can do with a
few mouse clicks.
John Lange will demo, from start to finish, the creation of a
completely custom Linux distribution. As a bonus, OpenSUSE 11.2 was
just released and John will be using it for the demo just to give
you a little taste of what it's like.
Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Gilbert Detillieux
will cover the find(1) and xargs(1) commands.
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

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:
MediaWiki
MediaWiki is an open source wiki package, originally designed to
implement Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the
non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many other sites. MediaWiki
is written in PHP, and runs nicely in the typical LAMP stack. It is
fairly easy to set up and most configuration can be done through a
web browser.
In the collaborative spirit of MediaWiki, this presentation will
be a joint effort between Kevin McGregor, Gilbert Detillieux and
Michael Doob. Gilbert will focus on installing and configuring
MediaWiki, Kevin will focus on using and managing it, and Michael
will show a novel way he's using MediaWiki on a netbook to store
and present class notes, complete with mathematical notation.
This month's RTFM topic, by Montana Quiring, will look at UNIX pipes.
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.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, October 13. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Jabber
Today, instant messaging is taken for granted. We use it to stay in
constant contact with our friends and colleagues. There are some
environments where it is not feasible or practical to use external
IM services in a corporate environment. Like most things, there is
an Open Source solution for that. In this case, we're talking about
the Jabber instant messaging protocol.
In this presentation, Darren Hildebrand and Sean Cody, from Prime
Focus VFX, will talk about the Jabber system and show how the
eJabberd implementation can be used to provide closed instant
messaging services in a secure, simple and client-application
agnostic way. They will also discuss what logging, auditing and
authentication options are available. If you were ever interested in
replacing or providing AIM/MSN/ICQ/gTalk functionality in your
workspace this presentation is for you.
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.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, September 8. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
Connecting your Computer to the Real World
This month, Adam Thompson will be covering the dizzying array of I/O
ports and technologies available for making connections to (or from)
your computer. There's at least three ways to hook up a monitor; at
least three ways to connect a keyboard and mouse; at least five ways
to hook up a printer or scanner... Do you actually know what all
those ports on the back do? What plugs into where? Does UNIX support
them all equally? Which one is best (in any given circumstance)?
We'll attempt to answer these questions for you.
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.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, June 9. The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:
TrustedBSD Architecture
The TrustedBSD project develops advanced security features for the
FreeBSD operating system. Features from TrustedBSD have also made
their way into other operating systems, such as NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Mac OS X, and Linux.
Christian Peron is a FreeBSD security developer. He will discuss
the security deficiencies in the architectures of most existing
operating systems. Christian will show us the technical and
architectural changes that the TrustedBSD project made to the
FreeBSD operating system to enhance security. Some of the changes
include separating the access control framework from the security
policy, modifying the kernel to support an auditing framework, and
setting up an intrusion detection system.
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.
