Report for STOIC Committee Meeting 1 22/10/2002 ***Assistant Head of Technical (IT)'s Report*** 1) Edit Suites - situation much as before. I have revised the list of upgrades to take account of price changes since I last compiled it - total budget for the upgrades is now ~560GBP, so within the 600GBP budgetted for it. Now that we have members I believe money can be released for these purchases, this I will look into this week. Existing edit suites continue to behave erratically, as we are all aware. Now that upgrades are looking likely in the near future, I am not making any effort to fix these in the long term. 2) Domain / E-Mail - as mentioned in the minutes, committee e-mail addresses and the committee@ list are now functioning. 3) Website FTP accounts - forms for Judith and myself are with Sam Sharpe, these should be implemented this week. After this I / Judith will be reviewing the content accounts on the system to ensure everyone has access who should, and nobody who shouldn't :) 4) Internal network - requires purchases, see point above. Once purchases arrive setup should be trivial, end users should not notice any difference in fact. 5) Playout system - situation as before, recent events have prevented progress being made. This is of course not forgotten however.
