MUUG Meeting, Jan 9, 7:30pm -- IBM Server Virtualization with VMware ESX
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: IBM Server Virtualization with VMware ESX Scott Jordan, IBM's Technical Support for the Prairies System x Sales Team, will talk about IBM blade server technology, and demo VMware ESX. Larger disk arrays, faster processors, and more dense memory packaging is making virtualization a very attractive solution for running multiple operating systems on one hardware platform. Add this to the centralized management, redundancy, and high availability features of VMware and you have a powerful business solution. Come and see Scott put his pet "rack" through its paces. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

MUUG Meeting, Dec 12, 7:30pm -- Round-table and Holiday Mingle
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Round-table and Holiday Mingle As the year winds down, it's time for MUUG to take things at a more relaxed pace. So, we'll allow the round-table discussion to go a bit longer (rather than cutting it short as we sometimes have to), then instead of a very short coffee break, we'll have a more laid-back mingler with some holiday treats and more time for informal discussion. Not sure if the fat guy in red will show up, but rumour has it there will be some gifts given out... So, whether you've been naughty or nice this year, don't miss out on the fun! 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

MUUG Meeting, Nov 14, 7:30pm -- SUSE Linux Enterprise 10
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 14. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 "The platform for your Open Enterprise needs." That's how Novell describes SUSE Linux 10. Since it's purchase of SUSE, Novell has been positioning SUSE Linux as the one product line that will work from the desktop to the enterprise server. With this goal in mind, Novell has taken steps to provide greater power and security as well as to increase the "user friendliness" of SUSE Linux. In this presentation by Wayne Billing, of the University of Manitoba, we will see a brief overview of some of the things (AutoYAST, 3D desktop, AppArmor, XEN) that Novell is counting on to make SUSE Linux a viable choice for enterprise desktops and servers. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

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: PKI: Public Key Infrastructure - What it can do for you This month, Adam Thompson will give us an introduction to public-key infrastructure. PKI is the technology that enables secure web browsing (SSL) and secure e-mail (S/MIME) - you might know what an SSL Certificate is, but did you know you can enable single-sign-on by running your own PKI? That you don't have to pay for expensive SSL certificates? That you can use PKI to secure password-less SSH authentication? The discussion will cover uses of SSL certificates, and a high-level overview of the OpenSSL and OpenCA toolkits. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

MUUG Board Elections - FINAL CALL for Nominations
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hear ye, hear ye! This is the FINAL CALL for nominees to participate in the election for the MUUG board. Those elected will serve from October 2006 until October 2007. The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is September 26, 2006. (That's tomorrow, folks!) Instructions follow. The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other events by the group. It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group. All are encouraged to apply. ------------------------ MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass any special resolutions. (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting) Any member in good standing can be nominated to run for a position. As of this writing, the following members of the current Board have let their names stand for re-election: Gilbert Detillieux Systems Analyst University of Manitoba Michael Doob Professor University of Manitoba Kevin McGregor Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg Doug Shewfelt Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg Adam Thompson Consultant athompso.net Shawn Walbridge System Administrator Frantic Films Of course, this list is just a starting point. Any member in good standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of one other member. If you feel you would like to contribute to the group by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so. (In fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.) If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board member. The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain the signatures of the nominee and one other member. The letter must be received no later than September 26, 2006, which is 14 days prior to the October 10 meeting. Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing, with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending us e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the signed paper copy later. In this case, please include the e-mail address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication. Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here: http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/bylaws/ If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process, please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during business hours, or by e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca> anytime.

MUUG Meeting, Sep 12, 7:30pm -- Surviving with a Non-UNIX Desktop
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Surviving with a Non-UNIX Desktop A few months ago, Gilbert Detillieux, a die-hard UNIX user since around 1980, did the unthinkable: he switched to using a Windows-based system as his primary desktop at work! Has he lost his mind? Or were there mitigating factors that affected his decision? How can a UNIX user survive in a Windows environment? Are there tools available that can ease the pain, and allow one to work effectively in a heterogeneous environment, without going through UNIX withdrawal? Come hear how this one person did it. This will be a fairly informal, interactive presentation, which will hopefully lead to some lively discussion on alternative desktop solutions, and the pros and cons of each. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

MUUG Meeting, June 13, 7:30pm -- Agile Software Development Env.
by muug-announce＠muug.mb.ca 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Agile Software Development Environment Specialized and robust tools for Java development are available to the Open Source community for everything from source code control, to document management, to running your finished application. Weaving all these components together on a central development server for team of developers can be a challenge. These frequently overlooked components in the development environment can make or break your project. Where do you keep the information everyone needs to see? Who is responsible for maintaining it? How do you know if code you just committed to the repository has impacted someone else's? You are writing JUnit tests, but how much of your project's code is actually being tested? With the focus on developer productivity, how can you address all of these questions without adding to the burden of just getting code written? In this presentation, Steve Moffat will show us how one project is doing it. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).

Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: FUSE Implementation FUSE, or Filesystems in USErspace, is a great new method for regular users to create filesystem-like device drivers in userspace, without the need for all those messy kernel compiles. FUSE is now included in the stock Linux kernel as of 2.6.14, and is rapidly being deployed by a large number of people to create device drivers for specialty hardware, or improved filesystem support. Scott Balneaves will outline what you need to start writing your own filesystem (hint: not much), and some of the cool things you can do with FUSE. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).
