See handouts provided at the meeting for Ocotillo events that are soon to occur.

May 2006 Ocotillo Retreat - at PVCC??? We will discuss the feasibility and logistics of hosting the retreat at our next meeting. Mary Lou Goff will be in attendance. Main concern with hosting the retreat is the staffing issue and how soon it occurs after school. It is anticipated that there will be 300 people in attendance.

3) SIS Project Update:

See handouts provided at the meeting.

Cathy informed us that the new SIS work room is in the IRTS conference room.

Issues with SIS - System Development: there is a concern with the one page student class invoice. It produces separate documents; completion issues. They're looking at how long it takes to produce one page. How much time is needed to change the system?

Cathy and Rod Fensom are working on the campus information piece. Nothing will be out before October. Faculty Portal demos will be performed.

Chrystle Hall will be demonstrating the Faculty Portal at our October 5, 2005 meeting. We'll also look at a demo of the PVCC Pod Cast (re: impact on server resources, etc.)

4) Budget Submission Deadlines:

Cathy will e-mail us a time table to review before and discuss at our next meeting.

May 8 - asking for final notification of approval for technology requests.
June 1-June 15 - Start consolidating.
July 1 - Purchase Orders in Vendors' hands.

5) Server Storage Space for Faculty:

See Kurt's e-mail (handout provided at the meeting) re: this topic.

A discussion centered on the usability aspects of the server storage space for faculty.

Cathy informed us that they are working on determining how space is currently used and the impact to the network pipeline. More information to come.

Carol received quotes from different vendors, and MPC is the one they're looking at working with. It will be a 4 Tera byte starter SAN with a price of about $25,000, which includes consulting for setting up.

6) Wireless, Network Upgrade:

In short, wireless is delayed due to hardware configuration issues.

Carol provided us with two documents related to the status of wireless and the network upgrade. Please refer to the handouts provided by Carol.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 21, 2005, 12:45P-1:45P, G-Conference room (G-126).
