Attending: everyone
1. Secure printing. Dave is meeting with Jeff Schiller, Bob Ripcondi, and
Peter Kelley today (Monday). Lynne and Rocklyn encouraged to attend. Hoping
to nail down the security issue once and for all - or at least for awhile.
2. The serially attached printers managed by WINDSURF are candidates for
follow-on work for broader use of IPM. They're in the same category as the
500+ printers currently managed by APS. Meanwhile the number of serially
attached printers is diminishing because PO's are now being done on page
printers. Somewhere between 4 and 6 serially attached printers are gone,
leaving between 25 and 30.
3. Jodie Housman (AAST) is doing the AIX configuration. Options for her
involvement range from being a full-fledged member of the PRINTDEL team to
being an external resource. For now she is an external resource and Rocklyn
is her point person on the team.
ACTION ITEM for DAVE: Ping the DOST HID team leaders re sufficient
requirements when Pioneer configures the RS6000s. (unclear to me)
4. Who names the servers? Since all the installation related tasks belong
to ASST, they get to name them. Rocklyn will coordinate the configuration
with IBM staff.
5. Flash forms and Elixir. Great news! No changes are needed. Just point to
IPM.
6. Business modelling (Cecilia)
-The software capitalization boundary is $700,000. Any chance we'll
reach that figure? Not likely.
-Printing related costs should have their own cost object.
-Someone needs to track usage to be alert to spikes.
-There needs to be documentation of the IPM accounting function
ACTION ITEM: Cecilia - write up accounting requirements for Lynne and Rocklyn.
-How to prepare when new service costs more than preceding service? We
are "selling" a new service, so charging has to be taken into account.
7. The Mac G4 for Jeff Harrington has been ordered and charged to Dave's
account. Code Warrior has also been ordered.
