CD, VCD & DVD Burning
by John Lange 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

At a recent MUUG meeting someone was asking about burning VCDs (Video CDs). I believe the consensus at the meeting was that burning under Linux was comprised of a hodge-podge of various command line tools for converting video formats and burning making it quite difficult at best. I recently stumbled on the following software: http://www.k3b.org/ which seems to bring everything under one roof and claims to do CD, VCD, and DVD burning all in one application (it does not appear to be just a GUI front end to command line tools). However, I do not currently have a burner to test it with so I was hoping someone from the group could give it a whirl and report back on success?

Mid Canada Information Security Conference (MCISC)
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Howdy folks! I thought I'd pass this along to the MUUG mailing lists. I'll likely announce it at the next MUUG meeting, but the April 1st early registration deadline will have passed by then. MUUG is not sponsoring or in any way affiliated with this event, but I thought it might be of interest to members... -- Gilbert E.

Obviously, security is an area of interest that MUUG and IPAM members share. MCISC brings together the implementers and developers of the hottest information security technologies. The conference avoids the "just another sales presentation" stigma and gets world experts to deliver real technical education to attendees. While the conference is supported by vendor sponsorship, the event is totally non-profit, is offered at a reasonable attendee cost ($50 including lunch till April 1), and helps further the goals of IPAM, which are: * To bring together industry professionals to present and discuss information security challenges and solutions. * To build understanding of the most recent trends and developments in the industry. * To share ideas, experience and insights into technical aspects of information systems security. * To enhance management and control of information systems security. * To develop contacts with other individuals, organizations and suppliers in the industry. I would be happy to provide any additional information about the conference for your membership. _____ Shawn Lukaschuk - IPAM MCISC Chair mcisc(a)ipam.mb.ca <http://www.ipam.mb.ca/mcisc2003/link.htm#> http://www.ipam.mb.ca/mcisc2003

by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 04 Mar '03

[Posted to man.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <b42mcf$6tk$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Wiki and TWiki Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. We will focus on a Wiki implementation called TWiki, a flexible, powerful, and easy to use Web-based collaboration platform. Use TWiki to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API. Bill Reid will be presenting this month's topic. 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 new 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 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable". If you're not already on these lists, we encourage you to subscribe now: http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/ The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly meeting announcements (such as this one) as well as other important announcements of interest to MUUG members. The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for follow-ups to topics discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style discussion on other topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this to be effective, we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please subscribe, and stay involved! -- Gilbert E.
