The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 12. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

The Wireless Neighbourhood

Over three years ago, neighbours and MUUG members Kevin McGregor and Kelly Leveille thought they had some cool ideas for data sharing that would work well via a direct link between their homes. They had briefly experimented with using their broadband Internet connection, but they were disappointed by the asymmetric connection speeds.

This month, Kelly and Kevin will discuss the hardware, firmware, topology, trials and tribulations, configuration and eventual successful implementation of their private, wireless-connected network. With pictures, and demo-free!

Plus, this month's meeting is the MUUG annual general meeting, which will include the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2010-2011 year. You must be a MUUG member in good standing, and be present at the meeting, in order to vote.

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. **********************************************************************
