The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
Usenet News Readers
This month, MUUG member Chris Hill will be giving us a look at Usenet. The session will cover a brief history of the Usenet and news groups, how to get a new news group assigned in the hierarchy, how to use news readers such as Pine, Pan, and possibly others, what uuencode is, what the binaries news groups are, and the meanings of the hierarchies.
We're also expecting a talk from an IBM representative on IBM's Linux strategy, particularly in regard to Linux running on mainframes. Think of thousands of copies of Linux running under VM on one mainframe!
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.
