Apologies for getting this out so late!...
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, November 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's a week early, i.e. the FIRST Tuesday of the month...
Minimum dpkg-buildpackage
Gilbert Detillieux will present dpkg-buildpackage(1), which is used to build .deb packages from source. Gilbert will also give a tour of the source directory structure, and how to use quilt to manage patches. Somewhere between an RTFM and a deep-dive presentation, this talk will try to provide you with a minimum working set of tips and techniques to navigate the Debian package build environment.
AGM
Plus, this month's meeting was the MUUG annual general meeting, which included the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2023-2024 year (by acclamation, again this year).
Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2
We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.
For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.)
*Date Change*
Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the rest of the current year: We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of each month.
The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* 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.
