Depts

Spoke to LS about deploying a WP instance on web.uvic.ca and moving away from DWT setup.
Recommended that they put in a proposal for HCMC to port the DWT to WP theme.

Met with JT and PAB about the Beck site. All of us, particularly PAB, are busy right now so we've decided to postpone the Cascading of the Beck Trust site until the summer, when there will be more time.

Met with PAB and added more data to Beck; also initiated discussions with Communications re Beck moving to Cascade. Discussed future changes to Myndir.

New video, fixes to titles, and addition of a FB link to the menu.

SS finally decided not to go ahead with the netlink thing, so I sent my script to sysadmin to set up the system. It worked, but I'd forgotten a couple of people and spelt a couple of netlinks wrong, so I sent a follow-up script which has now run. Sent a message to the MVP list with instructions for use.

Board telco this morning, followed by a review of the current state of the white paper.

Added an embedded video on RL's instructions.

CC wishes to move her "use of software in language learning" lab from B047 to C251 if possible.

I OK'd that change of use for B047 for her to take to the dean and with Judy, Martin and Greg worked up a proposal for how we'll use our overall space now that we have that room back for our use. We'll put A/V station(s) and a workbench station in there, and possibly move our backup server(s) in as well.

Later, met with network person, reasearch accounting person, CC and Greg in the room to discuss feasibility of using room for intended purpose, implementation and administrative implications, etc. Some concerns about implications of using the room for research purposes and for dept meetings even though the dept meetings would not be using the research equipment/resources.

At request of history people, tried to figure out a way for the director to select a number of submissions and accept them (or reject them) as a batch, rather than having to select each submission one by one and reject or approve them. Unsuccessful, so emailed Inba who said it can't be done.
