The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, January 11.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   RAID on a Budget

   We've all heard people talk about disaster recovery and business
   continuity plans.  One  of the steps to building a strong IT environment
   is using redundancy  to  reduce the downtime a business could face at
   the worst possible time.

   John Schulz will be presenting a overview of various RAID (redundant
   array of independent disks or redundant array of inexpensive disks)
   solutions he has worked with. The focus will be on low to mid end OEM
   or "build your own" solutions where cost per GB is an important factor.

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.

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!
