All are invited. This is a general discussion of what did and did not happen
during The Flood one. It is not technical from an IT perspective and as such
might be
the one thing of interest to significant others (who are welcome).
**** Please RSVP to off...@cuug.ab.ca so we can get a firm estimate for
hospitality.
Admission is free. Should it be necessary, we will prioritize RSVPed
non-members first.
Hope to see you there,
Chris Aziz
CUUG President
June General Meeting
The 2013 Flood for Engineers
Speaker: Roy Brander, Senior Infrastructure Engineer for Water
Resources, The City of Calgary
<http://www.calgary.ca/>
Media stories about engineering problems are simplified down to the
eight-second sound bite. For those of a more
technical bent, here's the 2013 flood story with maps and numbers.
Thrill to the actual Glenmore hydrograph readings - and how they show it could
have been worse. Much worse. Compare the
1986 100-year flood map to what was actually flooded - and what wasn't.
Lavishly illustrated.
Roy Brander is a CUUG Life Member. He has given a number of presentations on a
wide variety of subjects, including the
BSDWall project, the MEPIS Linux distribution, the Titanic, management of
Calgary's water mains, and the ASUS Eee PC and
Moore's Law. Roy will soon be retiring (at far too young an age) from his day
job as the Senior Infrastructure Engineer
for Water Resources, The City of Calgary, so this could be your last chance to
take in one of his presentations.
