September 5, 2023: NetBox

Alberto Abrao presented NetBox. According to their website, "NetBox is the leading solution for modeling and documenting modern networks. By combining the traditional disciplines of IP address management (IPAM) and datacenter infrastructure management (DCIM) with powerful APIs and extensions, NetBox provides the ideal 'source of truth' to power network automation. ... Discover why thousands of organizations worldwide put NetBox at the heart of their infrastructure."

October 3, 2023: RTFM: libheif

Wyatt Zacharias will provide a brief overview of the "new" high efficiency image file format (HEIF) using some of the native tools provided by the libheif library as well as third party applications to work with this new format. Additionally Wyatt will demonstrate how to build the latest version of the library to add support for HEVC encoded images created by newer devices.

Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the rest of the current year. We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of each month.

For the second year in a row MUUG hosted another BBQ event, but this time at Assiniboine Park! Burgers, hot dogs, and pop were provided by MUUG, with guests invited to bring their own food to share with others and their own beverages as well. We had 17 people show up, which is our best turn-out for a BBQ in many years. Thanks to all who came!
