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

This is the official announcement of the 35th 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.  No one is required to join, but joining
		has all sorts of advantages (see later under membership).

Operating
Systems:	As the name suggests, the club caters to Home Unix
		machines. The following Unices have all been seen at
		HUMBUG Meetings:

				FreeBSD
				Linux/i386
				Linux/Sparc
				Linux/8086
				MkLinux/Powermac
				NetBSD/i386
				Solaris/Sparc
				Solaris/x86
				Ultrix

		Linux users currently predominate in HUMBUG, but we
		are seeing more and more FreeBSD,NetBSD and Solaris
		users attending meetings, ensuring HUMBUG is able to
		live up to its aim of being a generic Unix club.

		Everyone is invited, whether you are a Unix user, are
	        interested in becoming one, or would just like to see
		what Unix is all about.

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

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

Date:	Saturday, 19th April, 1997.

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

Format:	The meetings are informal, but we are having more talks than
	ever before.  Club members are happy to help fix up all sorts of
	problems for new (and not so new :-) users.  Lately we have
	been installing Linux on a regular basis. :-)

Talks:	None scheduled for this meeting.

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

Computers: All members can access our 10Mbit/sec Internet link at meetings.

Food:	A great home style pizza place is a five minute walk away, or
	you can order in take-away for dinner.  A Takeaway shop well
	known in St Lucia as the 'The Big Red Shop' sells delicious cheap
	Chinese takeway and just about everything else.

			Membership
			----------

The easiest way to join is to approach myself (Robert Brockway - President)
or our Treasurer (James Lever) at a club meeting.  Joining entitles you
to gain access to all that humbug has to offer (see below).

			Benefits of Membership
			----------------------

Access to the HUMBUG library.  Members can borrow items from the library
for 2 weeks, and may reborrow for another 2 weeks.  We have nearly 2 years
worth of Linux Journals, as well as CDs, cabling and even a computer (our
router hydra).

Access to our 10Mbit/sec ethernet link at meetings.

Email addresses in the domain humbug.org.au.

You can choose the email address as long as it hasn't been taken already).

Dns entries in the domain humbug.org.au under your own hostname.


			Proposed HUMBUG Services
			------------------------

Clarinet news service. This provides real news via Usenet.

			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 4:00pm, 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
