CCC Meeting Notes
May 17, 2004
Location: Social Sciences Computing

1) Invitation to Jim Davis to meet with CCC sometime in summer (Marsha)

Agreed that August or September would be better months for this. Marsha to follow up with Jim.


2) Class for SQL 2000 Reporting Services (Eric)

Eric notified the group about 2 day class coming up on SQL 200 Reporting Services. [Eric, Rebecca didnt' catch details of the dates, so perhaps you could forward?]


3) Feedback on Gartner presentation

Marsha solicited and received feedback.

4) Sakai update (Jason)

Jason reported that the pliot SAKAi project is continuing apace. The steering group meets every two weeks; alpha code expected in the next week or so; SEPP (Sakai educational partners program) conference in June;

Discussion of the CIS proposed gradebook webservice led to agreement that Greg would write up a paragraph describing what the CCC would like to see with regards to a gradebook web service, and in particular request that CIS endeavor to produce an IMS compliant web service that would allow other gradebooks to submit grades directly.

5 ) Problems with KSTData (Sean)


Sean reported a number of concerns: unclear that we are really getting the best prices; we have to give up possible freebies; transfer of ownership from KST to UCLA is an involved process; KST customer service is unsatisfactory.

Greg pointed out that under the contract vendors must give the best price through KST, so if we find discrepancies we should bring them up with KST.

Agreed that we would document discrepancies and regularly (every month) report them to an email address that Greg will provide; Marsha to take the issue back to Jim Davis.


6 ) Travel Express Update (Marsha, Bill, Peter)

Peter reported that new updates this weekend should mean signficant performance improvements.

Marsha reported that Travel had said "if their our technical difficulties that prevent people from getting there job done then Travel will work with you until it is resolved. It will not be mandatory until then".


7) Email and calendaring group update (Joseph)

Joseph reported on the current state of the report, which he believed is unlikely to change much during the final meeting. The group has met with Sam Morabito and Jim Davis to discuss the report and will be finalizing at one wrap-up meeting. The report should be out in a couple of weeks.


8) Persistent Email - Setting up a service for those that want to provide their own as was the resolution of the task force. (Marsha)

Marsha brought up the question of whether there were any issues to be worked out for those who run their own persistent email system. After discussion it was resolved that Marsha would set up a meeting between interested parties and Don Worth.


9) Wireless Board (Marsha, Peter)

Peter reported on the progress of the wireless board, which is focussing on clarifying the documentation. Expect a resource document in about a month.
