The April Meeting is almost upon us.

Just as a reminder, Wednesday (April 21) is the third Wednesday of the month.

For those who do not remember, that means the Ottawa-Carleton Unix Users
Group gets together for an evening of conversation, beverages and food
(not necessarily in that order).

Come out and share a story, bring a question, lurk!

The February Meeting is almost upon us.

Just as a reminder, Wednesday (February 17) is the third Wednesday of the month.

For those who do not remember, that means the Ottawa-Carleton Unix Users
Group gets together for an evening of conversation, beverages and food
(not necessarily in that order).

We had a surprising turnout in January, so let's see if we can keep the momentum going.

Details:

Colonnade Pizza & Restaurant, 280 Metcalfe (at Gilmour)

I can safely be accused of having retro tastes, whether it’s antique cameras, typewriters or hi-fi cabinets.
