Managers

Agenda

  • Email client on Athena discussion (15 minutes, othomas)
    • Looking for a decision to switch from Evolution to Thunderbird as the recommended/supported email client on Athena
    • Pros
      • Have moved away from original push to mail clients bundled with OS in favor of most popular/best mail clients
      • Thunderbird provided by Ubuntu, so will automatically get security and other updates
      • Thunderbird has extremely large existing user base among Linux users, esp. among incoming students (much larger than Evolution); reduced need for new students to learn new mail client
      • No need to assist incoming Linux users in migrating mail from Thunderbird to Evolution; such migration has a high unit cost
      • Primary reason to retain Evolution was some Exchange support, which has been ruled out by Exchange implementation decisions
      • Thunderbird ships with RHEL 4 and 5 as well as Ubuntu, so covers RHEL clients as well
    • Cons
      • Supporting Thunderbird on Linux may make it harder to defend non-support on other platforms (however, precedent exists - OO, academic software)
  • Brief update on Departmental Services presentation at ITPartners (Chris)
  • Brief follow up on CRM email thread (Chris)
  • MITBI Project and AUE (5 minutes) (Steve)
  • Brief discussion of final mobile/internet policy (Wilson, all)

    • Do replacement devices for existing approved users need to be approved?
    • EVDO cards (data only)
    • "Luddite clause" still present
  • Finance update
    • 6/15 deadline for all FY2009 purchases
    • 7/15 for CSS budget structure changes
  • HQ update
    • initial CSS Leaders meeting 6/29 (Wilson will set charter, discuss rotation of responsibilities for meeting, have staff do introductions as to role and current work)
