        \n
      1. Summer Classroom Update <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Adrian advised they have been working on the G-buildings. Tech Arts classrooms have been moved except for T-10; G-8 still needs a projector. AV was added to the Science building. There is still some equipment to be moved around and more wireless is needed. IT wants to set up select zones for better bandwidth. Brian said he has had some issues with the wireless working in the Administration building Tiffany added that when they change rooms or turn a computer on, they most often have to repair the connection. Adrian said he was not aware of any issues but will check into that.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Equipment Updates <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Adrian said they have had some revisions with some of the equipment in Science but have made big improvements. Short throw projectors and push button controllers were installed. He suggests using the same when Tech Arts is being remodeled. Ruby commended IT for the very user-friendly setup in Science. She said everything works really well.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Discussion Items: Big Brother Software (webpage monitor) <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Brian and Val have been putting this project together and provided the funding for this project. Adrian said Mark is still working on it. He presented a diagram showing the different connections; the software looks at different aspects of the server and shows errors depicted by a light changing from green to red or purple. He will break up and then group error notifications as the current setup floods his email with notifications. The webpage monitor can be viewed by anyone. (http:\\\\www.taftcollege.edu\/bbl\/<\/a><\/u>)<\/p>\n

            Rob asked if any tools can be run from there. The page provides a quick look of errors coded by colors. Mark said it tells him when to take a look at it; Moodle is always yellow because it is not a default page. Brian asked if Mark had the SMS application running. Mark said he did not. Rob asked how specific the system is. Mark explained that the error indicator opens up with details when you click on it. The history can be looked at also. Brian asked if the system shows explanations on what the errors really mean. Mark replied that the error would have to be looked up. Brian asked who was currently on the list for email notifications. Mark said that currently he is the only one. Brian asked when groups will be set up and when SMS will be up and running. Mark said he would have to talk with tech support again. Adrian asked that Mark check into the possibility of creating a new conference to enable others to see errors by maybe putting a link on the web page. Mark said that he will have to put the client on the quicktime server as it is outside the network. Brian noted that he did not see the Mac server on the diagram. Mark explained that he did not put every website down that runs on it; he will need to break it down more.<\/p>\n
