The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next
monthly
meeting on Tuesday, April 11. The meeting topic for this
month is
as follows:
FUSE Implementation
FUSE, or Filesystems in USErspace, is a great new method
for regular
users to create filesystem-like device drivers in
userspace, without
the need for all those messy kernel compiles. FUSE is now
included in
the stock Linux kernel as of 2.6.14, and is rapidly being
deployed by
a large number of people to create device drivers for
specialty
hardware, or improved filesystem support.
Scott Balneaves will outline what you need to start
writing your
own filesystem (hint: not much), and some of the cool
things you can
do with FUSE.
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.)
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.

Also note that MUUG maintains two mailing lists, called
"muug-announce"
and "roundtable". If you're not already on
these lists, we encourage you
to subscribe now:
http://www.mu
ug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/
The "muug-announce" list is used for monthly
meeting announcements (such
as this one) as well as other important announcements of
interest to MUUG
members.
The "rountable" list is meant to be a forum for
follow-ups to topics
discussed at the meetings, or for round-table-style
discussion on other
topics that come up between meetings. Of course, for this
to be effective,
we need to reach a certain critical mass. So, please
subscribe, and stay
involved!
