			Meeting Announcement
			--------------------

This is the official announcement of the next meeting of HUMBUG,
the Home Unix Machine, Brisbane User Group.  The club exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to Unix and
Unix like operating systems, to and to help users in operating those systems.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

			HUMBUG Details
			--------------

Name:		Home Unix Machine, Brisbane User Group.

Fee:		$15/year.  Non-members will be charged $5 per meeting.
		This $5 will be put toward the membership fee, so after
		3 meetings a non-member automatically becomes a member.
		We do not expect people to pay for the first 2 meetings.

Operating
System:		As the name suggests, the club caters to Home Unix
		machines. The following Operating Systems have all been
		seen at HUMBUG Meetings:
					FreeBSD
					Linux/i386
					MkLinux/Powermac
					NetBSD/i386
                                        Solaris/x86

		Linux users currently predominate in HUMBUG.
		Everyone is invited, whether you are a Unix user, are
	        interested in becoming one, or would just like to see
		what this Unix thing is all about.

			Next Meeting Details
			--------------------

Where:	Hawken Lecture Room 3, at the University of Queensland,

Date:	Saturday, 12th of October, 1996.

Time:	3:00pm to 1:00am.  You don't have to stay the whole time :-)

Format:	The meetings are pretty informal, but we occassionally have talks on
	various topics. We fix up all sorts of problems for new (and not so
	new :-) users.  Lately we have been installing Linux on people's
	computers on a regular basis. :-)

Talks: None Scheduled.

Official: We failed to get the numbers for the AGM at the last meeting.
          We are trying again, so this meeting is the Annual General Meeting.
          A proposal for a new consitution will be posted to the club mailing
          list within the next few days.  We will be voting on this new
          constitution at the AGM.  In addition, the issue of affiliation to
          the University of Queensland student Union will be discussed.

Library: We have a library including Copies of the Linux Journal and CDs
	 that club members can borrow from.

Computers: I encourage all members to bring their machines to the next
	   meeting.  Thankyou to all those people who have brought their
           computers before.

Food:	A great home style pizza place is a five minute walk away, or
	you can order in take-away for dinner.

Misc:	Humbug now has its own domain, humbug.org.au, and all members
	are entitled to have their computers registered in this domain.

			Internet access
			---------------

Using the IP masquerading features of the Linux kernel, all computers
present can have a transparent proxy connection to the Internet.
i.e. The computers are actually behind a firewall, but all computers get a
live 10Mbit/sec connection to the Internet.  No special client software is
needed to use IP masquerading.

All users are allocated IPs on a reserved class C subnet for their computers.
Users should only ever use their own IPs to prevent clashes.
An up to date list of allocated IPs can be found at
http://student.uq.edu.au/~s316674/humbug.ip.html

Lets get as many machines there as we can.  The more unix machines we have,
the better for all of us.  Most users bring their machines.  Meeting
attendance of both humans and computers is steadily increasing.  Those who
wish to bring their computers, but have transport difficulties could attempt
to organise a lift with someone by asking on the mailing list.  This has
worked many times in the past.

			How to get there
			----------------

If you do not know where the Hawken Lecture Theatres are, meet me at
the large university information map across the road from the University
bus stop at 2:45pm, or email me and we can arrange to meet at another
time/place.

Here are directions to reach the bus stop:

  To reach the bus stop after entering St Lucia, drive along Sir Fred 
Schonell Drive until you come to a roundabout.  Turn right into
Coleridge St.  Turn left in to Carmody Rd at the T-junction.  Follow this
road until you get to another roundabout.  Turn left at the round about.
This will put you in Chancellors's place.

  I suggest anyone not familiar with The University of Queensland at 
St Lucia consult a refedex, before attempting to find the bus stop.

  For further details, email me at robert@zen.humbug.org.au, or contact
the mailing list.
Cheers,
	-Robert
