MUUG Meeting, Tuesday, May 5, 7:30pm -- XigmaNAS
by MUUG meeting announcements 28 Apr '26

28 Apr '26

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting in person and online, on Tuesday, May 5th, at 7:30pm. XigmaNAS Ken Wong will do a guided tour on modernizing XigmaNAS for OpenZFS. XigmaNAS is one of the longest-running NAS solutions, which has its roots traced back to FreeNAS. Ken will talk about how it is built, how it operates, highlighting modernization efforts, what "dragons" are encountered along the way, and areas for future work. We are in for an exclusive and early treat, as BSDCan (the definitive BSD event in North America), has asked Ken to do this presentation at BSDCan later this June in Ottawa. Save money on flight/hotel/tickets and join us! Where to find the Meeting: 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 door. 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.

Reminder: MUUG Meeting, Tonight, Apr 7, 7:30pm (NEW LOCATION) -- Audio Files for the Audiophile

A reminder that the MUUG meeting is happening, both in-person and online, this evening... The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, April 7th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's the FIRST Tuesday of the month... Audio Files for the Audiophile In April’s presentation, Reb James will delve into the nuances of ripping audio CDs into a digital format. Playing on various devices is desirable; more importantly, archiving physical media into files for multiple backups. Discs can be damaged or lost. First is a discussion of suitable lossy/lossless audio formats. Reb tested available codecs in July 2024 with a new setup from previous types. Finally, the 7-step process that transforms audio into better quality than the original. Join us at the April meeting!
