Summary of Meeting July 2 1997

Present:

Accounts

Most of the students will have panther accounts and dial-in ID's. Mary will have a "stack" of and panther accounts to give out to students who do not have them. Mary and Operations will organize this. Accounts have to be activated, Mary is aware of the procedure. Mary's students all qualify for an Access ID. If they already have one, twenty hours per month will be added to their existing AI. If they do not hav an AI, Mary sends the login names of students who qualify for PTCE to Betty, who will then set up an AI for the duration of the course.

Class Lists

Operations will provide Mary with the complete list that matches student ID's to login names. In principle, these lists can be generated by faculty, but as Mary's students span numerous faculties, she gets them all. The list is put in a certain area on the VAX to which the user gets the password. The list is updated daily.

The login names will be entered by hand into the conference access lists, by the conference organizers. For the future, we have to look into a service that can generate classlists automatically. Right now, Operations can generate classlists with login names on request and email them to who needs them (Mary has chosen not to use them, though).

Setting up Conferences

Mary will send Gerard a list of the conferences she requires (about 15). She will be the organizer of them all, assigning other organizers at her discretion.

Life-time of Conferences

Probably conferences can be deleted at the end of the academic year.

Documentation

Mary has the documentation for conference organizers. We will send her the hdi as soon as it is ready. A pointer to the documentation may need to be put into http://www2.ptce.uwo.ca/.

Migration of Existing Conferences

Mary has no conferences that need to be migrated herself, but the NODE may have some, e.g. Teaching and learning.
