02 Sep '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Sage Sage is a free open-source program that allows (in the style of Mathematica or Maple) various types of symbolic manipulation. As described on the web page, Sage is built out of nearly 100 open-source packages and features a unified interface. It can be used to study elementary and advanced, pure and applied mathematics. This includes a huge range of mathematics, including basic algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, exact linear algebra and much more. It combines various software packages and seamlessly integrates their functionality into a common experience. It is well-suited for education and research. The user interface is a notebook in a web browser or the command line. Using the notebook, Sage connects either locally to your own Sage installation or to a Sage server on the network. Inside the Sage notebook you can create embedded graphics, beautifully typeset mathematical expressions, add and delete input, and share your work across the network. Michael Doob will be our presenter. Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Rob Keizer will talk about the tmux(1) command. 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.

MUUG Meeting, April 8, 7:30pm -- OpenCart

01 Apr '14

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, April 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: OpenCart Want to sell something on the net? This month Brad Vokey will be presenting on OpenCart -- a powerful open source shopping cart system that is feature rich and user friendly. OpenCart is a robust e-commerce solution for internet merchants to create their own online business and participate in e-commerce at minimal cost. It includes an intuitive admin interface that allows you to have complete control over your store. It also has thousands of high end themes available and integrates with hundreds of payment gateways and shipping integrations. There is also a thriving OpenCart extension market with over 12,000 extensions currently written for it (and more being added all the time). If there is something you need your store to do, there is probably an extension already written for it. If there isn't, or if you don't like the price someone is charging for their extension, you can simply add the code yourself, add it to the OpenCart store, and maybe make a little money selling your extension to others. For this month's RTFM, Michael Doob will talk about PDFtk -- A handy tool for manipulating PDF. 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.

Reminder: MUUG Meeting Tonight, 7:30pm -- Round-table, Mingling and Munchies
by MUUG meeting announcements 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Howdy folks! A reminder that the MUUG meeting is tonight, December 10, with the following topic: Round-table, Mingling and Munchies As the year draws to a close, we've decided to continue our not-quite-yet-tradition of turning the December meeting into more of a social event. We'll have the usual round-table session, which can run longer than average since there's no pressure to fit the presentation in, followed by time for mingling and eating and drinking instead of the usual short coffee break. This will be a "pot-luck" event, like we've done in the past. Some food and drink will be provided by MUUG, but members are encouraged to bring food to sample. Feel free to bring your own drink, too, if you want something particular just remember, please, that we don't have a liquor license! Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive Also as in previous years, we're combining this with a food drive for Winnipeg Harvest. We'd like members to bring some non-perishable food item for donation to the food bank. They have information about what they're looking for on their website. Winnipeg Harvest has apparently been running a shortfall all year, and needs your donations! http://winnipegharvest.org/donate-food/ So, please come, one and all, with a snack item to share with the group, and a non-perishable food item for Winnipeg Harvest. Hope to see you there!... ***************************************************************** 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.
