Issues/Items Discussed:

1) Welcome New TCT Member:

Welcome to David Matus - Admin. Services representative!

2) Brief Update Reports:

a) Linda Lawson on May 2006 Ocotillo -
Ocotillo WILL NOT occur this year due to transitions in Ocotillo, including Alan Levine's departure. Some suggestions were made to hold a "PVCC Ocotillo" event in August; or, hold a summer session open house, Ocotillo for students/staff - e.g., mini-course intros? Linda will update us on this at our next TCT meeting.

b) Carol Myers on Educause/Internet2 Security Professionals Conference; College-wide Wireless Network; VOIP Pilot; Network Monitoring Tools; Web Content management System from PC; and Operational Data Store.

Carol will be presenting at the Educause conference on "Open Source Security Tools at Maricopa Community Colleges." She will also talk about establishing an information security program and will use "An Information Technology Security Risk Assessment for the Telescopes in Education Project at Paradise Valley Community College" as a sample risk assessment sample.

College-wide Wireless Network:
Authentication will be performed using PVCC ID card number; password=last name.
BlueSocket appliance and air ports (demo online) - BlueSocket will do trend reporting.

Jane suggested that we should contact IA about a news release regarding WiFI.

c) Chrystle Hall's handout on Summer Technology Fun Week -
Per Chrystle: "We selected the workshops based on the feedback we received to a survey I sent out at the beginning of the semester. I haven't posted the schedule and registration form on the web yet. I will be submitting to get this approved for Faculty Professional Growth this Friday. Then, I plan to send out the e-mail announcement and link to the schedule and registration form, probably mid-April. We have three trainers this year - Jennifer Strickland, Rick Sheets, and me. One of the suggestions from last year was not to have Open Lab conflict with any classes, so we are trying something different - just one open lab the last day with all three trainers available to help with projects. Munch-n-Share Luncheon will be on the last day, Friday, 07/14. Small stipend will be available for adjunct faculty to attend as in the past."

(See Chrystle's handout for more information regarding the schedule.)

d) Casey Durandet on Technology Budget Requests Submitted to PLT
A copy of the memo to the PLT for the technology budget requests priorities was handed out at today's meeting. The presentation to the PBRC is scheduled for April 18, and Cathy will present (thanks, Cathy!!).
