I do not know Caleb but he is the only one from Manitoba. His credentials are
impressive and I would encourage you to give him your support.

Hello all!
Sorry for this kind of "spammy" email but:
If anyone is looking for a new ultra low cost cell phone plan, the
mobile company I recommended at MUUG meetings earlier this year
(https://fizz.ca) is having a crazy 50% off of their already low low
price sale for the first 6 months!
/*However, today is the last day of the sale!*/
With this sale a 20 GB Canada wide plan is only $14.50/month for the
first 6 months (regular $29):
<https://fizz.ca/en/mobile?ADDONS[0]=18&CVRG=108&DATA=106&PLAN=3&SMS=223&VOI…>
A 1GB Manitoba only plan can be had for as little as $8.50 per month!
<https://fizz.ca/en/mobile?CVRG=16003&DATA=93&PLAN=3&SMS=223&VOICE=90&WIZARD…>
You can customize your plans however you like, and with my
refer-a-friend code of *16KPK *we both get a $25 credit when you sign up!
<https://fizz.ca/en/mobile?ref=16KPK>
I highly recommend anyone that already has a cell phone and wants a
newer low cost smaller GB plan to try them out!
Sincerely,

A reminder that the MUUG meeting will be this evening, both in person
and online. See below for details on BRAND NEW LOCATION...
The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, September 2nd, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's
the FIRST Tuesday of the month...
Kopia
Alberto Abrao will present and demo Kopia, a "Fast and Secure
Open-Source Backup Software" solution. Kopia provides GUI and CLI
on multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, and - of course - Linux),
to make encrypted, compressed and dedup?ed backups to the cloud
storage of your choice.
RTFM: /bin Diving
If time permits, we will also be taking a dive into the /bin, with
this month's host Trevor Cordes. /bin Diving is our segment where
we pick a random program in /bin to demo and discuss and learn
about as a group. It's improv at its best!
Where to find the Meeting: **NOTE BRAND NEW LOCATION**
Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary?s Road, 2nd Floor
WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South
from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside the
Miller's Meats. It?s in the old fire hall, so you really can't
miss it! Look for the red doors.
There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a
flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility.
There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the
building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not,
there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager
Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard
Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots unless
otherwise indicated.
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.)
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.
