MUUG Monthly Meetings for 2025-26


Please note our brand new meeting location: Winnipeg Senior Citizens Radio Club, 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor

WSC is located at 598 St. Mary's Road, 2nd Floor, a block South from the St. Mary's / St. Anne's fork, on the West side beside the Miller's Meats. It's in the old fire hall, so you really can't miss it! Look for the red doors.

There is no elevator, so attendees will have to be able to climb a flight of stairs. Apologies to anyone requiring accessibility.

There are a limited number of parking spaces for WSC around the building. If you arrive early you'll probably snag one. If not, there is parking available on the nearby streets, such as Mager Dr, or the streets off of St. Mary's such as Blenheim or Clonard Ave. Be careful not to park in nearby private parking lots unless otherwise indicated.

MUUG meetings also take place online (typically using BigBlueButton) for those who can't be there in person. Meeting link will be provided on the home page, prior to meeting start time.

September 2, 2025: Kopia

Alberto Abrao presented and demoed Kopia, a "Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software" solution. Kopia provides GUI and CLI on multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, and - of course - Linux), to make encrypted, compressed and dedup'ed backups to the cloud storage of your choice.

October 7, 2025: RTFM: ncdu

Brad Vokey presented and demoed ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage), a powerful, interactive, and fast disk usage analyzer for Unix/Linux systems. It provides a text-based user interface (TUI) based on the ncurses library, offering a more user-friendly and visual way to explore disk space consumption compared to the traditional du command.

Brad's presentation covered the man page, various command-line options, including the very useful -e option (to load file meta-data such as file modification time), and various key commands within the TUI (such as "d" to delete selected files or directories).

November 4, 2025: TBA

AGM

Plus, this month's meeting will be the MUUG annual general meeting, which includes the election of the MUUG board of directors for the 2025-2026 year (usually by acclamation).

December 2, 2025: Round-Table, Show & Tell, and Pot Luck

As 2025 draws to a close, MUUG continues the now 14-year-old traditon of turning the December meeting into more of an informal, social event.
