The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Linux At The Movies
Final Fantasy, Shrek, Pearl Harbor, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, and The Matrix. What do all these movies have in common? Linux. Linux was used in some way during the production of each movie. Some were rendered completely on Linux, some used Linux for specialized tasks. This presentation will cover what software is available for the budding filmmaker running Linux. And we will answer the question: "Can you make a movie entirely under Linux?"
Shawn Wallbridge is the Systems Administrator at Frantic Films, one of Canada's leading Visual Effects studios. Shawn has covered network security topics under Linux at previous MUUG meetings, and returns for the September meeting with what should be a visually interesting presentation. So, we'll see you... At The Movies!
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 meeting location: IBM Canada's offices in the TD Centre, at the corner of Portage and Main. We gather in the lobby on the main floor - please try to be there by about 7:15 PM. Steve Moffat will then take us up to the meeting room just before the meeting starts at 7:30. Don't be late, or you may not get in.
Parking is available either in the parkade behind the TD building, off Albert Street, or in the ground level lot just north of the TD building. Entrance to the lot is from Albert Street, behind the parkade. Either way, parking is a $1.25 flat rate for the evening. You purchase your ticket from a dispenser, so make sure you've got exact change - a loonie and a quarter, or 5 quarters.
