ACAA Meeting Minutes
8:30-9:30 PM, ACNS Conference Room

In attendance: Bryan Carney, Neal Lujan, Dave Hoffman, Terri Pecora, Ed Peyronnin, Bryan Gillispie, Scott Baily, Pat Burns (phone)

Project Status:

  1. Azure Cloud – Q1 Calendar 16. Making good progress. Dell will not be a LSP (licensing solutions provider).Instead we are working with CDW-G in that capacity. We have received a quote from CDW-G, as well as revised contract docs from Internet2.Review of these materials is on Grant Calhoun’s calendar for the next week. Hopeful that by mid-March all documents will be signed and some services will be up in Azure. Mark Garcia is now dedicated to Azure services team;CSU has long roots with Mark so this is good.
  2. DL Granular Sender Controls – CITAC Recommendation – continue to build on Mailman documentation, and work on enhancing Exchange capabilities as well. ACNS will work with CITAC to make sure we have gathered requirements and document what success looks like, most likely duringQ2 Calendar 2016.
  3. LDAP Integration into CSU Cray, Condo Cluster and CSU/CU Shared HPC – Underway. Contract with Dell has been signed and hardware should be in by the end of March. Good collaboration with the folks at CU so far. Implementing DUO for 2-factor authentication, and ACNS’ middleware team is working on providing an attribute to indicate 2-factor authentication in the Shibboleth token.
  4. Deploy ORCID – Not approved; request has been tabled until further direction from Pat Burns. After discussion CSU will point faculty, staff and grad students to the ORCID subscriptions site and have them signup in a retail fashion. There is a field in Digital Measures for folks to record this. NIH and NSF are going to be requiring this as afunding requirement. Uncertain which systems will be considered as the official system of record. Burns will keep the committee appraised as developments happen.
  5. Sharepoint Online – This topic is going to IAC for further discussion, with a recommendation of developing a sub-committee to look at if/when/how questions. Adequate governance will be imperative for a successful rollout. Possible second-half Calendar 2016 project
  6. Create Service Catalog for ACNS. At their last meeting, CITAC discussed broad themes for developing service catalogs. Ag Sciences, COE and COB are wanting to move forward, and others (CVMBS and CLA) are also interested in developing something. Conversations ongoing regarding tools for developing service catalogs. Q: was there discussion on time frames or how deep of an articulation we are wanting. A: We’re in discovery at this point and defining general areas and monetize these items as well. One these are developed, how do we share these out so folks in administrative areas can see and use this model to do something similar?Updates to IAC would be appropriate as service catalogs start to gel. ACNS would appreciate participation in this discovery process.
  7. Trusted Digital Preservation Project – Approved. Low impact from ACNS and we are moving ahead.
  8. Morgan Library Website Redesign. Bailystated that ACNS will develop a framework (templates, etc.) that can he handed over to CSU Libraries personnel, who can build on that to flesh out how to organize and present content.Also needs to decide if Drupal or Wordpress will be the underlying technology. Ron felt thatWordPresshad limitations that in their experience made it a challenging platform. There was a request to let the campus IT community know what platform was chosen and why. Ultimately, it should come down to which can best meet the needs of CSU Libraries, including full integration with other existing systems.

New Project Requests:

9.International Programs -Replace of the Case Management System and Federal Compliance Software. ACNS will not see a substantial impact. The Windows team feels they could fit this in about any time with relative ease. This will require ACNS to stand up a VM and Cold-Fusion server. There will be more work on the IS side,and ACNS will coordinate the timing with IS.

  • The meeting adjourned at 9:18 AM
