Kelly and Mona are providing staff support to all the IT Goverance committees
In process of nominating people to the committees. Will probably start work in Spring semester.
website: http://www.cio.illinois.edu/itgov
- there will be a running list of what is going on in each committee
- also, the background information that is provided to the committee will be there.
Discussion:
- What are some of the holes?
- examples of things – end point management, policies
- Mac OS X licensing (OS, app store, ios)
- Computer Lab strategy (common areas)
- Central area to review / test software
- Testing / Clinics – especially with Lync devices
- for other needs in general
- Expert center – get hands on, not just documentation
- Software development
- vetting
- what happens when the person leaves
- data security
- Business Process Development
- Web Development standards
- Many of these items are governance holes, many are communication holes
- Is Governance about Decisions that must be done, or about championing causes?
- IT Gov is supposed to get ideas from below
- the intent is to be faculty driven, with student input
- feasibility will be determined by members
-
- IT Council – have IT experience during discussion, communicate from the IT community, they also are responsible for implementation of decisions.
- IT Alliance – will be a place to lead the vetting of decisions
- Mobile device strategy
- Centralized printing solutions – billing students, etc.
Communication – what level? how?
- Publish everything, regular updates of big items
- summary
- which committee
- Everyone needs different level
- eWeek?
- DDDH-L
- query? sign up mechanism?
- need combination of stuff
- organize it well – needs good search functionality
- be able to sort by many different options
- only two people raised their hand on using twitter
- about 20 people use rss feeds
- caffeine break updates regularly
- consolidated calendar?
- do we need to have a new way of thinking about communication as a whole?
- no one wanted to use facebook
- James Quisenberry wanted Google +
- Radio call in show on lync
What happened to the IT Water Cooler?
- no one really was motivated to keep it up and there was very little traffic
