CCC Meeting Notes
June 17, 2004
Time/Location: 11:30 to 1:30PM - Technology Sandbox (4328 Math Science)
Agenda
1) Follow up on Web Services Design for CMS with regard to meetings
with Eric Splaver (Greg, Kumar (for Jason))
2) Sophos and various issues around campus (Marsha)
3) Follow up on KST analysis (Greg)
4) Meeting with Jim Davis Agenda - August or September - What would
we like to hear from him? (Marsha)
5) Telephony Task Force Update (Max)
Summary
1) Greg Kitch outlined the suggested interface for a web service under
development by the College Information Systems (Eric Splaver). The web
service will be a web front end for which various CMS systems can input
grades. The web service is a .net implementation. Greg said the architecture
works well for the needs of the Engineering School's CMS.
2) S. Kumar (Anderson School) discussed a meeting with the Registrar.
The registrar's grade system is NOT specifically designed to ONLY work
with My.UCLA. The registrar needs to make a policy decision (in this
case for
Sakai) on whether or not the Registrar will accept grade submission
from other CMS systems.
3) Sophos was discussed with regard to the letter sent by some members
of the Help Desk consortium to Jim Davis. The letter detailed a number
of problems/deficiencies with Sophos. The CCC agreed that there should
be a direct and well known methodology for dealing with the issues and
problems but did not feel that the problems or issues were of such magnitude
that the decision to use Sophos should be re-evaluated.
4) Jim Davis will be asked to attend the September Meeting. Several
topics were suggested including updating the CCC on the Strategic Plan
and its progress, status of the cost cutting recommendations in response
to the Chancellor's call for such, continuance of the Connected project,
the continuing problem of central application changes that pass on costs
to the distributed units (a current example is Cyperpay), and the Communications
policy (which in practice seems to be implemented inconsistently) for
not allowing some acronyms to be used for internet sites. (This was
can be checked into without waiting until the September meeting).
5) The CCC consolidating information about KST, particularly with regard
to price comparisons, service quality, and the documentation of ownership
(which is now KST). The idea is to document verifiable rather than anecdotal
incidents so that the CCC can make recommendations to improve the KST
contract and program.
6) The Travel application was discussed. It was felt that the functional
design is not flexible for those departments that handle hundreds of
accounts. The system only allows one to do travel for one traveler (one
account) at a time. This is an ongoing discussion item at the CSG and
concerns/improvement suggestions will be taken to the CSG.
