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

This is the official announcement of the seventh 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.
                Those just wanting to come and have a look will not
                be charged for the first couple of meetings.

Operating
System:         As the name suggests, the club caters to Home Unix
                machines. The following Operating Systems all fall
                into this category:
                                        FreeBSD
                                        The Hurd
                                        Linux
                                        Mach
                                        Minix
                                        NetBSD
                                        OpenBSD
                                        Solaris(x86)
                
                The club is currently dominated by Linux users.
                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 
                        --------------------
        
here:  Hawken Lecture Room 3, at the University of Queensland,
                
Date:   Saturday, 24th of Feburary, 1996.
                
Time:   3:00pm to 1:00am.  You don't have to stay the whole time :-) 
                
Format: Usually we joke around, tell Unix horror stories, show off Unix
        knowledge, hang around on irc, etc.  The meeting are pretty informal,
        but we occassionally have talks on various topics.  People bring 
	along configuration problems for us to fix up.

	We are considering running a network game competition.

Library: We have a library including Copies of the Linux Journal and CDs
         that club members can borrow from.  More CDs are expected in the
         near future.

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

Misc:   Tea/Coffee free at meetings.  Feel free to bring your own cups
        to save the club money on styrophome cups.  After all we would
        rather spend it on CDs than styrophome :-)
        Please bring biscuits/chips/etc, so we can share them around.
        A great home style pizza place is a five minute walk away, or
        you can order in take-away for dinner.

                        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 (very fast) connection to the Internet, without needing special 
client software.

Lets get as many machines there as we can.  The more unix machines we have,
the better for all of us.  Last meeting was outstanding with 8-10 machines
present most of the night.

Karanthia, our web server is down at the time of writing.
A hardware failure is suspected. It will be up again as soon
as possible, so currently the web pages are unavailable.

                        How to get there
                        ----------------
                        
If you do not know where the Hawken lecture theatres are, meet me at   
The University bus stop at 2:30pm.

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 will be under the bus shelter,
right near the bus stops, which will be on the right hand side as you enter
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 ec531667@student.uq.edu.au, or contact
the mailing list.
