The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly
meeting IN PERSON, on Tuesday, December 5th, at 7:30pm. Yes, that's on
the FIRST Tuesday of the month...
Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck
As 2023 draws to a close, MUUG will continue the tradition of
turning the December meeting into more of an informal, social
event.
Bring your favourite gadget! We will have the usual (brief)
round-table session, followed by a short presentation, a gadget
show & tell, and then have some time for mingling, eating, and
drinking.
But please, stay home if you are sick.
We will also attempt to simulcast the live round-table and short
presentation over BigBlueButton for those that can't attend in
person for any reason, whether snow, or sleet, or illness.
Bring your favourite gadget! Bring your latest gadget to talk
about - while everyone mingles, eats, and drinks.
This will be a pot-luck snack event. Members are encouraged to
bring their own food to sample and share with others. Feel free to
bring your own special drink as well - just remember that we don't
have a liquor license!
Where to Find the Meeting:
Just like last December, Mark Jenkins has graciously let us use
Skullspace, at 374 Donald St. We will be in room 200. Please note
that this location is not mobility accessible. There are 3 flights
of stairs and it is 1.5 stories up.
There is no Winnipeg Jets home game on December 5th so downtown
street parking should be plentiful. One of the best blocks for
street parking is Notre Dame after Hargrave. There are also
several commercial parking lots in the area including right behind
the Skullspace building.
The 66 bus route has a southbound stop on the same block of Donald
(useful for departure) in front of the Yellow Dog Tavern. For
arrival by bus, it's quite reasonable to walk from stops on Graham
and Portage or if taking the 66 get off at northbound Smith at
Portage or northbound King at Notre Dame.
Doors will be open starting at 7:15 pm with the meeting starting
at 7:30 pm. After 7:45 pm the doors may be locked so you will need
to call the Skullspace number (204-480-4092) and we'll answer and
come down to let you in.
Food Bank Donations Requested
As in previous years, we are combining our pot luck event with a
food drive for Harvest Manitoba. Any member who donates at least
$1 or brings at least 1 food item will be given an entry into the
door prize!
As a special bonus challenge this year, any cash donation made to
Harvest Manitoba at this event will be matched dollar for dollar
by Bradford Vokey (up to a total $500 limit)! Let's all chip in to
make Brad donate more!

1. Canned Fruit 6. Pasta Sauce
2. Canned Soup/Stew 7. Rice
3. Canned Tuna 8. Peanut Butter
4. Canned Vegetables 9. Baby Formula/Food
5. Pasta 10. Instant Oatmeal
Date Change
Please note the change in meeting date for this month, and for the
rest of the current year: We are now meeting on the first Tuesday of
each month.
The group now holds its meetings at 7:30pm on the *first* 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.
