Open Lab
- Follow up on the prior discussion: Where do we host the open-lab-software page? Where do we list the wikis we provide? How does cswiki.cs.byu.edu/facserv fit in with our department web page? What credentials are used on the cswiki.cs.byu.edu/facserv area? Should we unify all this information to a single site or at least provide links to these others areas from a single site?
- : Did we make any decision here? Yes. We are migrating over to put all of our documentation in a single location. Loren and Gordon will coordinate the transfer to the single system on the CS webpage. Migrate over all the services that we provide: wikis, servers, backups, etc. –> move over by March.
- : Migrate to a single source ticket system for all of our service needs. How about Mantis? How about ostickets? –> April
- Put office hours, software requirements, course webpage, etc. all in one spot in the faculty/staff area:
- : Send Gordon a list of things that we are looking for in the course administration area.
- Virtualization in the Open Labs

- Email
You dont often have the ability to verify that email was lost. So, even though this isnt a big deal, I thought it was worth looking into. This was received by the cs mail server, but doesnt appear to have been forwarded.
Begin forwarded message: From: Keith Crandall <keith_crandall@byu.edu> Date: January 2, 2010 4:40:04 PM MST To: Mark Clement <clement@cs.byu.edu> Subject: Re: Bio 465 Dear Mark, The outline looks good to me. Can we swap the Jan 11 and Jan 13 topics? I'll be at Washington U on 11JAN to give a department seminar. I'll also be gone Feb 17 (15-19). Could we switch Feb 17 and Feb 10? Otherwise, I should be good, at least for now. The schedule looks like fun. I also got an email from Matt Dyer who is working for a company and is willing to have students work on some projects. I'll cc you on my response to him.
