3:20 DISCUSSION "Birds of a Feather" Sessions -- Bring your issues!
General Topic: Recent Operating System Updates
GROUPS:
1. Windows XP Scott Barker, Information School
Ryan Campbell, C&C
Microsoft's Windows XP has been touted as the most significant
Windows upgrade since Windows 95. What's new, what's improved,
what's worse, and is a Windows XP upgrade something you should
or shouldn't be considering? Scott Barker of the Information School
and Ryan Campbell of C&C will discuss their experiences with
this new OS. Come and share your thoughts and questions.
2. Macintosh OSX Bob Majors, Language Learning Center
John Spady, Friday Harbor Laboratories
Apple's Mac OS X is a BSD-UNIX and Unicode-based core operating
system (called "Darwin") which uses Apple's newest graphical
user interface (called "Aqua"). Bob and John run OS X servers for
QuickTime Streaming, file services, and lab desktop management
using Apple's NetBoot capability--they also have some experience
with client-side foreign language capabilities. Share your
experiences/battles, ask questions, and seek wisdom.
3. RedHat7.2 Ed Mulligan, Earth & Space Sciences
Ed Mulligan has worked for Earth & Space Sciences longer than he
cares to admit. (before last years merger with Geophysics, he
worked for Geology) He is a Linux advocate and has used Linux
since RedHat 2.1 back in 1995. An RH-Linux box is his preferred
desktop machine. (but he has to keep a mac and a wintel machine
around for assorted compatibility and testing.)

1:00 WELCOME David Lange
Announcements Oren Sreebny, Computing & Communications
PRESENTATIONS
=============
1:30 The "Early Email" Project - Gary Prohaska, Computing & Communications
The goal of this project is to enable new faculty and staff to
obtain a UW NetID as soon as the hiring decision has been made.
This will (among other things) enable email access on or before
their first day of work.
The problem being addressed is the latency inherent in the current
paper-PAF system, i.e. it takes up to two weeks for the initial
hire paperwork to be processed. Until this happens (i.e. until an
employee shows up in HEPPS) the new employee is not authorized for
a UWNetID. The new system provides a means of expediting the
process. It is not a permanent solution that addresses all
initial hire concerns (e.g. parking, id cards, etc.).
1:45 Whither Wireless: Campus Directions - Terry Gray, C&C
o Overview of wireless data communication technologies,
including methods used for DAN, LAN, MAN and WAN networking.
o Description of 802.11 standards for wireless networking, and
some of the issues involved in setting up such networks.
o Discussion of where and how C&C sees wireless (especially
802.11) networking fitting into the UW campus infrastructure.
Report on 802.11 testing - Mark McNair, C&C
Mark will attempt to demonstrate configuring an Apple AirPort
access point to provide wireless (802.11) connection to the campus
network.
2:45 Refreshments - compliments of Computing & Communications
3:00 Piloting Palms: Hype and Hope David Wilson, Health Sciences
Academic Services
A look at the current state of Palm OS based devices and usage
patterns here at the UW, based on my experience supporting them in
an educational and clinical setting in the Health Sciences (Hype).
We will examine the current "one device one user" model employed
by Palm and efforts to make them work with currently available
systems and resources. We will also look at what might be coming
down the pipe from Palm and third parties that might make it
easier to make the Palm a good net citizen (Hope).

* Announcements Oren Sreebny, Computing & Communications
* Desktop Email Issues
This session will discuss the centrally provided services available for
supporting use of desktop email at the UW, how those services are
configured, and how they can be accessed separately or as a group.
Some of the specific topics that will be explored include:
- What central services are available for desktop email, and what
protocols are supported?
- What's the configuration of the deskmail servers and their
relationships with other C&C hosts?
- What clients are supported, and what other clients work?
- What configuration of the clients are on the UWICK kit, and what
advantage is there to using the UWICK?
- What's available in the LDAP white pages service and how do you use
it from email?
- Email filtering and IMAP - what works on which desktop clients, and
what's up with server-side filtering on the IMAP servers?

BREAKOUT Sessions (attend one of the following)
* Pay-for-Printing Solutions for Student Computer Labs
Several major UW units have adopted pay-for-printing
solutions to help defray the costs of providing printing
for students. More and more departments are adopting
such solutions, and others are interested in participating.
This talk will examine how units are using
pay-for-printing schemes, which schemes are being used
and how effective these schemes are in defraying costs
and providing service.
Presenters will include
the UW Copy Centers
the UWired Labs
Arts & Sciences Labs
* Supporting Data-Driven Web Sites.
Learn how other computer support professionals
handle requests to put databases on the Web.
Learn common customer motivations, illusions
and requirements. Compare existing solutions and
alternatives: centralized database servers,
desktop solutions, C&C infrastructure, saying no.
How to prepare a cost and requirements analysis
for developing and maintaining a data-driven web
site.
Presenters will include
Marcy Tufarolo, Manager, C&C Client Services Project Consulting
