April 29, 2015
2:30-3:30
In attendance: M. Hauck, T. Quinn, P. Conis, B-j. Chauvin, M. Joyce, K. Roos, S. Green

We still need to train other staff who weren't trained at the first training in April- waiting to hear from supervisors of those peoples to set up times

Training on May 4th-
Matt to do classroom; Mike to do sites; Karl to do drive
35 minute sessions, in classrooms because not interactive.  More a sales pitch than a training
Same groups as April 6th, so can cater presentation to the group
Location? AgMech classrooms 8117, 8118, 8119
Will begin with "what's going on?" Information.  Mike has prepared slides.
Question posed about moving old mecnet emails to google.  Can we move emails? Question for Laura
This is when we will discuss PDP offerings for people
Different PDP rates for the trainers.  Need additional people to do trainings for the seminar series

Seminar series:
Mike is looking for feedback on additional topics for the seminars
Tammy proposes the idea of "app of the week"

Project plan:
Mike is looking for commentary/feedback/questions/corrections
Things we need to focus on now-
migration of mecnet email- we need to get information into people's hands asap
Can we see who is in the group email addresses, to verify that we are using them correctly.  Users should be able to see all groups available
Need to define what we have for public calendars- how many? What ones? Who owns? Who edits?
Template library of all forms we have now
Architecture for naming and organizing forms
School website- look for samples/faves to follow

No need to use June meeting for more google training

Open issues:
Chrome browser sync issue has been addressed
Users cannot create groups within the domain.  Give this only to faculty for now, so teachers have to be monitors/moderators of groups
Need to resolve Google+ issue- open this up just for teachers
Mobile device connection issues need to be resolved
Need information on how to migrate mail so people can do it
Need to set up trainer and developer accounts
Chats and hangouts have been turned off- need to turn it back on for teachers
Cannot customize app launcher- turn this back on for everyone
