Hear ye, hear ye!

This is a preliminary call for nominees to participate in the election

October 2011.  The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is

MUUG Board Elections - Call for Nominations

Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the
main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass
any special resolutions.  (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting)
Any MUUG member in good standing can be nominated to run for a position
on the Board.

As of this writing, the following members of the current Board have let
their names stand for re-election:

Sean Cody		Senior System Admin.	Prime Focus VFX Services
Gilbert Detillieux	Systems Analyst		University of Manitoba
Michael Doob		Professor		University of Manitoba
Kevin McGregor		Network Analyst		City of Winnipeg
Montana Quiring		Systems Administrator	University of Manitoba
Doug Shewfelt		Systems Specialist	City of Winnipeg
Adam Thompson		Consultant		athompso.net

Of course, this list is just a starting point.  Any member in good
standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of
one other member.  If you feel you would like to contribute to the group
by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so.  (In
fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.)

If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter
to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board
member.  The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the
nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain
the signatures of the nominee and one other member.  The letter must be
received no later than September 28, 2010, which is 14 days prior to the
October 12 meeting.

Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing,
with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending e-mail to
<election at muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the
signed paper copy later.  In this case, please include the e-mail
address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the
message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication.

Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here:

	http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/bylaws/

If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process,
please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during
business hours, or by e-mail to <election at muug.mb.ca> anytime.

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting on Tuesday, September 14.  The meeting topic for this month is
as follows:

   A Trio of RTFM, Part Deux!

   Once  again  this  month,  were  offering  you  a trio of RTFM
   presentations! To start, Gilbert Detillieux will be introducing the
   diff(1) command. Next up, Michael Doob will follow up on Adams RTFM
   in June on the awk(1) command, showing you how to use it for more
   substantial scripting. Finally, Sean Cody will present the screen(1)
   and tmux(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.

   **********************************************************************
   Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave.
   (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to
   sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you
   (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, 
   so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may
   not get in.  (But don't come too early either, since security may not
   be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required
   to show photo ID at the security desk.

   Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice
   Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also
   available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle
   parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located
   behind the building on Webb Place.
