1. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST
MEETING
· Will stand approved as posted
2. INTRODUCTIONS
3. GENERAL NEWS – ETS TECH USE SURVEY
IS OUT, DUE BACK BY FRIDAY
· The Tech Use Survey came off line Friday, November
12th
IR staff has not had a chance to do an analysis on the responses yet
May get some preliminary results in early December
In January, the results will post on the web and included in NewsBytes
Had a new response high of 396
4. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS – STANDARDS
COMMITTEE; SPAM FILTER SUBCOMMITTEE (FROM TOM ROZA)
5. FOLLOW UP TO THE LAST MEETINGÕS FHDA
TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT PRESENTATION – ANY QUESTIONS/CLARIFICATION?
· Jamie Doll liked the idea that we are moving more toward
a standards based environment instead of to proprietary applications and data
islands
· Kim Chief Elk brought up the fact that IE will no longer
be supported for the Mac
This is a huge problem for HR
Hr will need guidance from ETS to see if there is a solution to the problem
Some of HR's forms may be able to be handled through the work flow application
and the portal environment once it is up and going
· What is the timetable for the identity management?
Currently in the process of hiring a consulting company to advise and help
develop an RFP document
Will take two to three months to get through the bid process
Will probably be mid to end of winter quarter before the board approves
a contract
The implementation process will take several months and will be rolled
out incrementally
The goal is to have it integrated into the portal by the start of the
2005 fall quarter
Hope to have the portal environment available to employees some time during
early 2005, even before the identity management is in place
Staff will be given a static login
ETS will keep track of login ID's
Initial portlets will be those that are "off the shelf" -- not
likely to have in-house developed portlets right away
· If any constituency group is interested in seeing
a scaled back version of the presentation, contact Willie at: pritchardwillie@fhda.edu
· Kim suggested that it would be good to inform the staff in
CS about the work flow forms processing which will happen inside the portal
Willie will talk to Mike Brandy and Jane Enright about scheduling time
to speak to their staff
6. TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC PLAN – REVIEW
PROGRESS TO DATE, DISCUSS CALENDAR FOR COMPLETION BY JUNE, REVIEW DISTRICT
MISSION STATEMENT, ALIGN WITH TECH PLAN
· There is a need to redo the current
strategic plan because:
1. It is old and
antiquated and needs revisions
2. The process was started last year and needs
to be finished
3. There is an accreditation process going
on and we need to show that we are doing this
4. Good practice to make sure the goals of
the district are in line with what we are doing with technology
· Committee began reviewing guiding
principles worked on last year
· No mention in the principles about providing networking to
allow communication and collaboration
Could add that our technology resources will
be designed in a way to help facilitate cooperation and inclusion as well
as reward and promote creativity and ingenuity
· A little further in the process,
the committee will do assignment of strategies
The strategies still need to be developed
· The principles were modified and reviewed; ETAC
will review them at the next meeting and move on to the "assumptions"
phase
7. OTHER ITEMS FROM THE COMMITTEE
· Will try to set up videoconferencing for the next ETAC meeting
on December 1st
Stay tuned to MeetingMaker and a message about where on each campus the
meetings will be held
Adjourned: 1:28 pm
Next Meeting: Wednesday, December 1, 12:30 – 2:00 PM via videoconferencing???
