In this month's presentation, Trevor Cordes will discuss using git-bisect(1), in a process from bug discovery through to kernel patch commit. This isn't some dry, isolated git rehash either: you'll see how to leverage distro resources and integrate them with "vanilla", all from a non-kernel hacker perspective. You'll also learn how to get the necessary attention of the appropriate movers and shakers. Wrapped in a riveting story containing angry wives, Downton Abbey, and a twist ending, this is one presentation you don't want to miss! This month's RTFM segment will feature fail2ban(1), a versatile tool for blocking network abusers, presented by Gilbert Detillieux. 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.)

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Mingling and Pot Luck As 2014 draws to a close, MUUG has decided to continue our new tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event. This will be a totally pot-luck event. Cookies and pop will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring their own food to sample and share. Feel free to bring your own drink as well if you want something particular - just remember that we don't have a liquor license! Real-Time Mapping with *ouchDB (CouchDB/PouchDB) After the mingling and munching, Robert Keizer will be presenting how he set up a very simple real-time map using an Android phone and some JavaScript. The talk will focus on separating the data layers and some of the nice features in *ouchDB. Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we are combining our pot luck with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. We would love it if each member would bring at least 1 non-perishable food item for donation to the food bank! Winnipeg Harvest has apparently been running a shortfall all year, and needs your donations, particularly at this time of year! They have information about what they're looking for on their website: http://winnipegharvest.org/donate-food/ The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June.

MUUG Meeting, Nov 18, 7:30pm -- LiveCode
by MUUG meeting announcements 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: LiveCode This month, Brad Vokey will give a demonstration of LiveCode: an open source, cross-platform, rapid application development language. LiveCode evolved from MetaCard (the original Unix HyperCard clone) into becoming a true cross-platform IDE capable of running on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, and several variations of Unix including Linux, Solaris, and BSD. It can be used to write mobile, desktop and server/CGI applications and is the most widely used HyperCard/HyperTalk clone. LiveCode uses a high level, English-like programming language that is dynamically typed and tightly integrated to your program's interface. The language and compile-free work flow generate code that is self-documenting and very easy for casual programmers to comprehend. As this month's RTFM topic, Wyatt Zacharias will compare and contrast the curl(1) and wget(1) commands. Please note change in meeting date for this month. This month's meeting is also the Annual General Meeting, where we will have an election (most likely by acclamation) for the new MUUG board of directors for the 2014-2015 year. 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 *NEW* meeting location for this month: Room 1L08, Lockhart Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence St. and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.
