The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Building a Transparent Bridging Firewall with OpenBSD
Shawn Wallbridge will be presenting on how to create a transparent bridging firewall with OpenBSD 3.6. Shawn will demonstrate setting up the firewall, and will (time permitting) show how to use OpenBSD's pf firewall to monitor bandwidth usage, and getting the usage numbers into MySQL with some Perl.
The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM 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: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in.
Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. **********************************************************************

Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now:

The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members.
The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved!
