The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

Blogging and Podcasting with WordPress and podPress

WordPress is an open-source content management system for setting up blogs and websites. It's fairly compact and very easy to set up on a web server that supports PHP and MySQL. With the addition of the podPress plugin (a "dream plugin for Podcasters using WordPress"), you have all you need to set up an audio or video podcast feed that is RSS2 and iTunes compatible.

In this presentation, Gilbert Detillieux will describe this software, show some of the trickier parts of setting up the prerequisite software, walk us through the installation and configuration of WordPress and podPress, and end off with an initial posting to a shiny new podcast feed.

This month's RTFM topic will be on DNS resolution. Sean Cody will discuss and demonstrate some tools for DNS resolution in UNIX and some lookup tools such as dig(1), host(1) and nslookup(1).

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.

********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required to show photo ID at the security desk.

Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located behind the building on Webb Place. **********************************************************************
