The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Mingling and Pot Luck
As 2014 draws to a close, MUUG has decided to continue our new tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event.
This will be a totally pot-luck event. Cookies and pop will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring their own food to sample and share. Feel free to bring your own drink as well if you want something particular - just remember that we don't have a liquor license!
Real-Time Mapping with *ouchDB (CouchDB/PouchDB)
After the mingling and munching, Robert Keizer will be presenting how he set up a very simple real-time map using an Android phone and some JavaScript. The talk will focus on separating the data layers and some of the nice features in *ouchDB.
Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive
Also as in previous years, we are combining our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. We would love it if each member would bring at least 1 non-perishable food item for donation to the food bank!
Winnipeg Harvest has apparently been running a shortfall all year, and needs your donations, particularly at this time of year! They have information about what they're looking for on their website:

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.
