He mentioned the Skydrive again which offers a 25-Gig space for users to park data and be able to send a link through email for someone else to be able to see. Bill said that some faculty members had some complaints about the new email. First Class had more of the social network features; many student emails end up in the junk folder.<\/p>\n Adrian explained that as for the social networking, Outlook still has features like \u201cwant ads\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n \u2013 the user has to subscribe to these groups to receive emails through them. Sometimes the rules need to be re-adjusted also. In reference to students\u2019 emails ending up in the junk mail folder, he will look into outsourcing a spam filter. One of the reasons why so many student emails are going to the junk mail folder is that mass emails are often labeled as spam which is one of the<\/p>\n hidden triggers. Adrian is currently talking to a company by the name of \u201cad mail\u201d which does<\/p>\n bulk emailing. They quoted him a cost of $1,200 for 50,000 emails a year. Ruby brought up the fact that when they do emailing through Banner, there are a lot of CCC-Apply accounts which are almost always kicked back. Adrian explained that students often overlook the information on having to establish an account with CCC-Apply. He will look into the issue. Bill mentioned that he gets lots of \u201ccontact request\u201d pop-ups. Adrian said that it sounded like a virus and he will check it out.<\/p>\n He then informed the group that IT has been working with \u201cPower Save\u201d, loading software on<\/p>\n machines to do an audit to see what times would be best to save energy\/cost and how much. G-labs have it loaded now. The software measures power usage during the day and turns the computers off at 10pm and back on at 7am. A PG&E rebate pays for everything for 5 years.<\/p>\n Wireless is being upgraded in Science, the quad and any new buildings coming on campus. Financing was approved and cabling was done during the last week of Christmas break. The equipment was ordered and is expected to be here in March. By then the design should be done to do log-on for anyone coming on campus. There will be a new student login via the web; it will contain a disclaimer to meet digital copyright laws and HEOA. The goal level of density is to support 75 machines per room. Brian asked if Science 4 was wired. Adrian replied that techs were on campus on Monday to finish everything they were not able to get to the first time.<\/p>\n Ruby asked if Banner student email addresses are rolled over when put in etudes. Clarissa explained that the addresses are entered into Banner but students can change their own email address.<\/p>\n Adrian advised that the February meeting will be canceled as it falls on a holiday; the group will meet again in March.<\/p>\n The meeting was adjourned at 10:30.<\/p>\n\n
