The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 10. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

UNIX@50 (A Personal History)

UNIX turned 50 this past summer. Gilbert Detillieux has worked with UNIX systems for the last 40 of those 50 years. In this not-too-technical presentation, Gilbert will take you through 5 decades of UNIX evolution (with some personal reflections on the last 4 of those decades). Come for the interesting trivia, stay for the philosophical musings!

Round-table, Mingling and Munchies

As 2019 draws to a close, MUUG will continue our recent tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event.

*Bring your favourite gadget!*

We will have the usual round-table session, followed by the RTFM presentation (see above), then a gadget show & tell, and finally, some time for mingling, eating, and drinking.

*This will be a pot-luck snack event.*

Cookies and pop will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring their own finger 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!

Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive

Also as in previous years, we will combine our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. Cash donations are preferred this year as every $1 Winnipeg Harvest receives, they are able to pick up and deliver $20 worth of groceries.

*Any member who donates at least $1 or brings at least 1 food item will be given an entry into the door prize draw!*

Winnipeg Harvest has information about what they're looking for on their website:

The group holds its 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.
