Announcements:
Chris Grossi gave updates on where we are with the Dell contract. Just signed!! He will be putting up the information in Google docs to share with all DCC’s. The basics are that we can now buy Dell computers through the bookstore in addition to going thru the Dell Premier site. The bookstore will keep a small number of Dell’s on hand for emergencies. Good news! Take a peek at the google doc when it is up for the particulars. Also in the news.. the Novell Print Queue is now gone as of 10/31/11! Maple versions 14 and earlier are going away so you will need to get your users upgraded to the newer version (15). There is also no AMP program at this time for Macintosh OS X 10.7 (Lion) . You will have to download it from the App store for 29.99.
An audio version of the meeting can be heard here.
