04 Dec '12

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Round-table, Mingling and Munchies Instead of a formal presentation this month, we will be starting the holiday season with an informal round-table meeting at a restaurant. We are leaving our normal meeting place at the IBM offices, and will be meeting at the Seine River Café. The Seine River Café is located at 390 Provencher Blvd, just east of Des Meurons. We will be meeting for dinner at 6:00 pm. Please email us to let us know how many people will be attending, so we have an idea of how much space to reserve with the restaurant. Brad Vokey will be collecting the RSVPs, so check out the MUUG web site for details on how to contact Brad. If you can't make it for dinner, drop by at 7:30 for an informal roundtable and social meeting - a great chance to chat with other MUUG attendees and to celebrate the holiday season. MUUG will be providing a few light refreshments; you can order more food and drink from the restaurant if you like. Winnipeg Harvest Food Drive As we have done in previous years, we are collecting non-perishable food items for Winnipeg Harvest. Please bring a non-perishable food to the December restaurant meeting to drop in our box. Winnipeg Harvest lists their most wanted food items here: http://winnipegharvest.org/10-most-wanted-food-items/ 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.

MUUG Meeting, February 21, 7:30pm -- Linux LVM

15 Feb '12

*A reminder that this meeting is next Tuesday.* (Hope you didn't show up last night!) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 21. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Linux LVM One of the most important new developments in the Linux 2.6 kernel was the Logical Volume Manager, version 2 (or LVM 2). Logical volume management is a widely-used technique for deploying logical rather than physical storage. With LVM, "logical" partitions can span across physical hard drives and can be resized (unlike traditional ext3 "raw" partitions). Kevin McGregor will summarize the basic principles behind the LVM and provide examples of basic operations which can be performed with it. February's RTFM will feature the traceroute(1) command, presented by our president, Katherine Scrupa. 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 meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy).
