The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:
ACeDB
ACeDB is a freely-distributed object-oriented database package that was developed for genome projects, but is a very general purpose system. It is available for most computer systems (Unix, Mac, NT, etc.), and binaries for ACeDB are available for most systems. Brian Fristensky, from the Department of Plant Science at The University of Manitoba, has used ACeDB in his lab for several years, and in his recent Bioinformatics course. This month, he will be describing and demonstrating this database for us.
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.
********************************************************************** For this month only, the meeting will be held at the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry Campus, in the Carolyn Sifton Auditorium, Room 130 Agriculture. An online campus map is available here:
