ITS Update
James Frazee gave us an overview of PG-153, our meeting room of the day.   This smart classroom includes 215 seats which swivel 360 degrees, power at each seat, steerable speakers utilizing digital signal processing, sound proofing, LED lighting with a variety of lighting possibilities, as well as the standard smart classroom podium/computer setup with an upgraded control system.  This classroom was entirely remodeled with SDSU staff, no outside contractors were used.

Peterson gym also has two additional new smart classrooms, a 150 seat room and a 70 seat room.

Several smart classrooms (AZAT, EBA 339, EBA 343, EBA 437, LS 134, SH 152, SH 154, SS 1401, AH 3150, PSFA 350, WC 220, WC 201) have been upgraded to a new control panel interface.  ITS will slowly be upgrading all rooms with this control interface.

The Fall 2010 Smart Classroom Training Schedule is now available at: http://its.sdsu.edu/spaces/smartWorkshops/

Academic Affairs Update
All software license renewals that were in process have now been completed.

IT Security Update
The IT Security Plan has been adopted by the President’s Cabinet.  In the next few weeks, the security plan should be online.  Several appendices were removed from the document and made as separate documents. There will be links to these documents in the IT Security Plan.

Felecia noted that up to this point, the Projects on campus have not been involved in the Security Plan effort.  There is currently two parallel efforts going on, one from  the SDSU Research Foundation, and one at the College level to identify the Projects. Over a period of time, all the project will brought into the security plan.

IDM/Email/Calendaring Update
The Identity Management Program is still in progress with estimated an completion date of December/January.

The Email/Calendaring project received clearance to proceed wih gmail and calendaring.  The committee can now consult with Google on their remaining concerns, one data storage (limited size of attachments).  The IDM must be in place before the email project can be completed.  Still to be determined is the rollout of the email/calendaring migration  - whether to do one at a time or roll them out simultaneously.

Survey Software
There will be an announcement soon regarding a presentation on Qualtrics survey products.  This product has security in place, has buy-in from some of the faculty, and has minimal ATI compliance.

Work Order Integrations
Tom Voss led a discussion on campus-wide work order integration solution. Other departments are currently looking at Pinnacle and other products.  Tom offered to further investigate potential products if there is enough interest.

Next meeting will be September 16, 2010
