Subject: [Muug] MUUG Meeting, Oct 13, 7:30pm -- Jabber
Message-ID: <200910061602.n96G2UJ00140@iron.cs.umanitoba.ca>

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, October 13.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   Jabber

   Today, instant messaging is taken for granted. We use it to stay in
   constant contact with our friends and colleagues. There are some
   environments where it is not feasible or practical to use external
   IM services in a corporate environment. Like most things, there is
   an Open Source solution for that. In this case, we're talking about
   the Jabber instant messaging protocol.

   In this presentation, Darren Hildebrand and Sean Cody, from Prime
   Focus  VFX, will talk about the Jabber system and show how the
   eJabberd  implementation can be used to provide closed instant
   messaging  services in a secure, simple and client-application
   agnostic way. They will also discuss what logging, auditing and
   authentication options are available. If you were ever interested in
   replacing or providing AIM/MSN/ICQ/gTalk functionality in your
   workspace this presentation is for you.

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.

Subject: [Muug] MUUG Meeting, Nov 10, 7:30pm -- MediaWiki
Message-ID: <200911032015.nA3KFRF17721@iron.cs.umanitoba.ca>

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, November 10.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   MediaWiki

   MediaWiki is an open source wiki package, originally designed to
   implement Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the
   non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many other sites. MediaWiki
   is written in PHP, and runs nicely in the typical LAMP stack. It is
   fairly easy to set up and most configuration can be done through a
   web browser.

   In the collaborative spirit of MediaWiki, this presentation will
   be a joint effort between Kevin McGregor, Gilbert Detillieux and
   Michael Doob. Gilbert will focus on installing and configuring
   MediaWiki, Kevin will focus on using and managing it, and Michael
   will show a novel way he's using MediaWiki on a netbook to store
   and present class notes, complete with mathematical notation.

   This month's RTFM topic, by Montana Quiring, will look at UNIX pipes.

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.

Message-ID: <200912011824.nB1IOSD14348@iron.cs.umanitoba.ca>

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, December 8.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   SuseStudio

   SuseStudio is an online virtual appliance builder based on OpenSUSE.
   "Build an appliance or your own custom Linux distro with a few mouse
   clicks. Customize it to your heart's content, and share it with the
   world!" It is quite astonishing what this site/tool can do with a
   few mouse clicks.

   John  Lange will demo, from start to finish, the creation of a
   completely custom Linux distribution. As a bonus, OpenSUSE 11.2 was
   just released and John will be using it for the demo just to give
   you a little taste of what it's like.

   Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Gilbert Detillieux
   will cover the find(1) and xargs(1) commands.

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.
