Present: Mike Roy, Mary Backus, Shel Sax, Chris Norris, Carol Peddie and Doreen Bernier
Topics discussed:
Video streaming: Mike indicated that there is a fair amount of interest by College Advancement to use video to reach alumni via the web. After a lengthy discussion on this topic, the ADs decided to form a group to investigate how we can create workflow and processes for cross-campus use. Several questions need to be addressed like:
- What’s the right format for video streaming and for archival purposes?
- How quickly could we move to a new standard (perhaps mp4)?
- How might adopting a new standard impact our workflows?
Project directory move to “Roadmap”: The timeline for changing over the current project directory to “Roadmap” was discussed. It was decided that Chris Norris will provide training to workgroup leaders at the September Managers meeting so they can start to incorporate current project milestones into the new program.
Goals: The August Manager’s meeting will be devoted to workgroup goals. We discussed how to link workgroups/teams goals to the larger institutional mission and incorporating them into the LIS strategic planning site/.
Google/MSlive: The process for evaluating cloud service offerings discussed. Draft documentation containing background information, scope and timeline are being prepared for presentation to President’s Staff.
