Lecture demo web site
Hosted by Barry Robinson, using CIT's VM infrastructure he uses to host many Physics web sites:
Info from Barry:
- Note this is a distinctly separate web site than the Physics Admin web site <http://www.physics.cornell.edu/> Barry also hosts in the same CIT VM (virtual machine) rented space.
- Access is restricted by .htaccess, thus username and password required. (Who are these credentials shared with? Who changes and/or when do they change?)
- Static pages. Jennie and Phil depend on this site, and maintain the items within it.
Oliver's recommendation:
- Look at options and decide how to sustain. One efficient way to do this is have the stakeholders consult with CIT's ATC, perhaps in coordinating with Tricia..
- The ATC site states, "Academic Technologies offers services such as non-intensive website support and hosting." And it's free.
- As part of looking at options, characterize the purpose the present site serves.
- Whatever is decided, clarify any obligations for those hosting and maintaining thesite. Ensure fair remuneration to sustain the site as-is and/ or migrate it as appropriate.
- The recommended coordination with Tricia et al. is so they are at least aware of the need, and especially as it might relate to the current departmental Physics site and it's proposed future.
Web site run out of the Linux Lab
- http://computing.physics.cornell.edu
- http://webmail.physics.cornell.edu - Email services being provided - why?
- http://pages.physics.cornell.edu/ - free personal webhost for users with SQL being provided - why?
- Direct open to the world SSH services being provided to all workstations and servers - why?
- http://www.eyh.cornell.edu/ - Expand Your Horizons - why can't this be run of one of CIT's web services or by CCMR who is the official departmental owner of this group

Notes

Move FileMakerPro files from Barry's server to the A&S server.
...
Q: Able to do sooner than later? (Since dependent on Barry's server.)
...
...
PhysIT to look over current files and develop a proposal for John.
...
Option 1: Move server to PhysIT, temporarily. Less disruption, less risk. Then migrate to A&S's FMPro server.
Option 2: Migrate to A&S's FMPro server.
- Project Copernicus (PhysIT) (restricted, for PhysIT staff)
Contextual reminders
- Craig Wiggers started Monday, April 18, 2016. Following John Miner's retirement the previous Friday.
- PhysIT (via ChemIT) began service to Physics Admin and Instruction Nov. 1, 2013.
(Related, from before taking on Physics: ChemIT transitioned service from CCMR/ LASSP, coordinating with Barry. Mostly for the Freed group.)

On-going activities and projects
Review "Active", "Opportunities for improvement", and "Lower priority", below. For example, as of 5/18/16:
Staff awareness on IT-related topics (IT Security and scams, Windows 10), Testing Center refresh, and whether and how to engage with ID Finder.
- Advising on the issues of community concern (IT security, compliance, robustness, etc.) related to the Grad Lab systems and many server services
...
Review "Opportunities for improvement". For example:
ID Finder, securing the network, computer upgrades, support of select systems and software in Nick's area.
