[Posted to muug.unix.general and other news groups] ------ Forwarded Article <bj2vv5$sqk$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) 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: Regular Expressions In our September meeting Steve Moffat will be talking about Regular Expressions. Some say the "Generalized Regular Expression Parser", or grep, may be the most frequently used command in Unix. Using this simple command more effectively can save you time and give you better results every day. Whether it is grep, egrep, fgrep, perl, or any of the other programs that use or support text pattern matching, you can use Unix better if you know what Regular Expressions can do for you. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30 PM 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: 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 7:15 PM, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30 PM. Don't be late, or you may not get in. Limited parking is available for free on the street, or in a lot across Ellice from IBM, for $1.00 for the evening. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $2.00 for the evening. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called "muug-announce" and "roundtable".

As of this writing, the following members of the current Board have let their names stand for re-election: Gilbert Detillieux Kevin McGregor Doug Shewfelt To put your name on the list, do the following: 1. Ensure your membership is in good standing (ie do you have to renew?) 2. Find another member willing to second your nomination 3.

Python runs on almost every platform you can think of from Linux to the Mac, and has even been ported to the Sony Playstation 2.

Mid Canada Information Security Conference (MCISC)
by muug-announce-admin＠muug.mb.ca 19 Mar '03

Howdy folks! I thought I'd pass this along to the MUUG mailing lists. I'll likely announce it at the next MUUG meeting, but the April 1st early registration deadline will have passed by then. MUUG is not sponsoring or in any way affiliated with this event, but I thought it might be of interest to members... -- Gilbert E.

Obviously, security is an area of interest that MUUG and IPAM members share. MCISC brings together the implementers and developers of the hottest information security technologies. The conference avoids the "just another sales presentation" stigma and gets world experts to deliver real technical education to attendees. While the conference is supported by vendor sponsorship, the event is totally non-profit, is offered at a reasonable attendee cost ($50 including lunch till April 1), and helps further the goals of IPAM, which are: * To bring together industry professionals to present and discuss information security challenges and solutions. * To build understanding of the most recent trends and developments in the industry. * To share ideas, experience and insights into technical aspects of information systems security. * To enhance management and control of information systems security. * To develop contacts with other individuals, organizations and suppliers in the industry. I would be happy to provide any additional information about the conference for your membership. _____ Shawn Lukaschuk - IPAM MCISC Chair mcisc(a)ipam.mb.ca <http://www.ipam.mb.ca/mcisc2003/link.htm#> http://www.ipam.mb.ca/mcisc2003

Use TWiki to run a project development space, a document management system, a knowledge base, or any other groupware tool, on an intranet or on the internet. Web content can be created collaboratively by using just a browser. Developers can create new web applications based on a Plugin API. Bill Reid will be presenting this month's topic.

jobs(a)muug.mb.ca is up and running. The purpose is for companies to post job listings and for people to post resumes. As with the other lists only list members can directly post to the list. For non-members a posting will have to be approved (usually a very short delay). I will shortly be configuring mailman to remove email addresses from the archives. This will also change any mailto: URLs. ____________________________________________________________ Bill Reid Page 993 Dorchester Ave. Network Consultant, Retired 935-1432 Winnipeg, MB R3M 0P9 University of Manitoba (204) 452-6590

[Posted to man.unix.general and other new groups] ------ Forwarded Article <b1oue1$im7$1(a)canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca> ------ From gedetil(a)cs.umanitoba.ca (Gilbert E. Detillieux) The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 11. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Wireless Network Setup and Security Wireless networks are becoming a popular alternative for home users and small businesses. A small LAN can be installed more quickly (and sometimes more cheaply) with standards-compliant wireless equipment than with traditional ethernet wiring. Unfortunately, many users value the flexibility of wirless networks without recognizing the security risks involved.
