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:

   Let's build a highly available web server!

   How do you put together a redundant fail-over linux cluster suitable
   for use with Apache and MySQL? How do you solve the problem of real
   time data replication when you have a database that is doing frequent
   updates? Why MySQLs built-in replication doesn't work!

   And, and a bonus, lets have it do some load balancing as well. After
   all, no sense having that second machine sitting there doing nothing,
   right? And all this for less than $3000.00. Come see and hear John
   Lange speak on this feat of derring-do!

   Tools used: Linux-HA, DRBD, openMosix, MySQL and Apache.

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.

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.muug.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!
