The department is transitioning to a google-apps for consolidation/budgeting purposes. This is a list of issues and concerns that have been discussed or may need to be addressed. This list has been initially populated by discussions on the misc email list.

Room ReservationsRoom reservations are working via the google calendar.
What about my cute name aliasesIf you have something cool like jimbo@cs aliased, to your jmeischersmidtchdh0722@cs to make it smaller, we don't know what will happen.
What happens when I graduate"for transition purposes for graduate students in Engineering, we actually will keep the account active for a year post-graduation or set up a forwarding mechanism if requested." (forwarding for a year?)
Why does google automatically store my messages in Sent and re-write them as coming from @eng?Because their motto is "Do no evil"?
Who is going to host my artistically designed professional website?Unknown.
How do we authenticate to cse run systems?I bet someone is going to have to keep maintaining them. |
