The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, February 6th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's a week early, i.e. the FIRST Tuesday of the month...

Firejail

Want to add an extra layer of protection when using complex or untrusted programs, like browsers or Steam? Short on time and fed up with overbearing whole-system solutions like SELinux or resource-hogging virtualization? Well, protect yourself the easy and painless way with Firejail!

In this month's presentation, Trevor Cordes will outline why you want to use Linux Firejail, how you use it, and why it may be better for your use case than other protection solutions. Cool demos may ensue.

Where to find the Meeting: Fortress Software Inc., 350 Keewatin St -- Unit #2

We have a new in-person meeting location now! Brad Vokey has graciously let us use his work office for our next in-person meeting. The meeting room will be open by 7:00 pm, with the actual meeting starting at 7:30 pm. If driving, enter the lot using the most north east entrance and drive around to the south west corner of the building (see route in map detail on poster linked below). You can use any of the free, ample, and safe parking spots that say "reserved" in front of units #1 through #4 before entering unit #2. Bus stops #30814 and #30880 (route 77) are only 150 meters away. The last bus leaves for Polo Park at 10:15 pm and for Garden City at 10:31 pm. Logan Ave. bus routes #19, #26, and #27 are a 600 meter (8 minute) walk to the south.

For those unable or preferring not to attend in person, the meeting will also be available online, using BBB as usual. Stay tuned to our muug.ca home page for the official URL, which will be made available about a half hour before the meeting starts. (Reload the page if you don't see the link, or if there are issues with connecting.)

*Date Change*

Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the rest of the current year: We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of each month.

The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* 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.
