Brief Summary of Meeting:

I. Reports & Amendments:

II. Citrix-Jeanne presented some discussions on the PVCC Citrix Blackboard. Concerns and costs appear to outweigh the gains. Instruction is too dynamic to work effectively on a static desktop. Jeanne invited a discussion on other thin-client providers and the discussion could continue. Rich discussed bandwidth, latency, district connections and some possibilities. Recommendation: Investigated and a decision to table for now.

APB - Bob has invited anyone to give feedback on APB before Koorosh leaves-all were encouraged to give feedback. A presentation has already been made to an MCCD Strategic Planning Team. A district budgeting team will be coming in for a presentation in December. Ocotillo - Didn't met due to WebDay. Two attended WebDay and did not have anything to share from it.

Technology Fee Proposal - TCT Recommendation: We like the general concept of the plan, but need definition of the specifics, details, assumptions, and expectations we are committing to. The concerns raised centered around the vagueness of what services PVCC will be required to provide for the fee assessed to students and the impact that would have on services.

Technology Training Survey - Sent out last week. Chrystle will send out an additional reminder that it is not

Other - Discussion needed for campus Calendar server need for PVCC. District had originally agreed to provide, but will not provide server for PVCC calendaring. Do we need it, as it missed the initial budget process for next fiscal year. Can "free" calendaring services (e.g. Netscape Calendar) provide needed service for employees? SUGGESTION: a "DID YOU KNOW?"

Memo to go out from IRTS to raise awareness of options we currently have available (examples might be: A technology trainer-Chrystle Hall, a site license for MS suite)--and also list where to find out more.

II. General Technology Survey Add list to uses with "Other" option. Onliine submission option Desktop performance concerns Separate additional section for instructors Need to identify surveyee Peripheral devices concerns/needs/problems

Decisions made:

Recommendation: We like the general concept of the presented Technology Fee plan, but need definition of the specifics, details, assumptions, and expectations we are committing to.

Recommendation: Thin client computing investigated and a decision to table for now. Next Steps/Responsible Parties:

Jeanne will revise General Technology Survey for next meeting. Anyone with additional ideas should send them to Jeanne.

All were asked to give any feedback on needed changes to APB.
