Agenda (PDF) items this month
Green computing (Emily Kunz Purser ENV)
- Emily's coop work term involved measuring computing devices in all ENV offices and labs using a kilowatt counter.
- presentation slides
Arts domain issue (Nevil)
- prompted by approaching end-of-warranty Artsfaculty domain servers Arts is investigating what to do with their managed staff and faculty and solicited WNAG as to how other groups manage this audience
- solutions ranged from completely user-managed (Science), to partially managed in Nexus for authentication purposes (AHS), to fully managed Nexus workstations for staff/faculty in Engineering and to fully managed staff in ADS for academic support personnel
- Arts' three options are to maintain Artsfaculty, migrate workstations into ADS or move them into Nexus
Engineering computing update
- Seagate 7200.11 1TB drives have a firmware problem that requires a fix
- updates to Nexus Common Applications and SPSS for spring term being packaged
CS update
- CSapp1 and domain controllers are close to out of warranty and are being migrated to virtual environment
Environment update
- getting ready for next term
- there is going to be construction in E2 shortly for 1.5 years
AHS update
- rebuilding labs very soon before summer terms begins but waiting for software updates (Nexus Common Apps)
Next meeting scheduled for May 20th, 2009.
