- Ryan: To give ChemIT an account number for them to buy a 1TB drive (or larger, if required).
- Ryan to determine time of purchase and migration timeline.
- ChemIT: ChemIT to buy drive when given the go-ahead from Ryan. On date decided on, ChemIT cuts access and copy contents to drive, for the group.

Current plan: Sneaker-net data (via FedEx)
Oliver confirmed this plan with Will and Ryan on Friday, 4/29/16.
- On a specified day, turn off access to SFS so no one can change files on file share anymore.
- As of 4/29/16, Will thought this day would be around July 15th.
- If group finds they need more than their 1TB within CIT's SFS, Will is fine paying to expand it for the few months they need it.
- All files copied to 1TB ($60-70) USB external hard drive (or larger, if necessary).
- Time estimate to make the copy, if done on campus?
- Roger suggest using tools he recommends to ensure complete copy.
- USB external hard drive taken to Northwestern and data moved to their files storage service.
- Will wants the drive FedEx'd, not carried by group or moving service (as of 4/29/16).
- Once confirmed all data successfully in Northwestern, then turn off Cornell's SFS file share.

Hi Oliver,
Thank you for the confirmation. I think all that’s left is data transfer. If you let me know your preferable method, I can make sure everything is in place on our end.
Ryan – When you get a Northwestern NetID, could you request a data storage share? http://www.it.northwestern.edu/research/user-services/storage/research-data.html. If you do not have Will’s NetID and do not yet have a chart string, let me know.
Regards,
Jackie
(2) Outward facing (2 web sites)
(2A) Cornell-based group web site (CU Blogs)
Next steps
Ryan: Investigate if Northwestern has a web development service to recreate the two blogs. To expand on the investigation Ryan has already done.
...
Ryan: Got a Northwestern ID and got a site started. Exported data, but theme and thus look-and-feel (and navigation) did not migrate. And find out if someone there is willing to Admin group's CU blog, for export work. (request sponsored NetID)Tried it within a non-EduBlogs WordPress site Ryan set up, with similar results.

Idea
As of 4/29/16 report from Ryan, these options did not look like they will work:
- Export group site from CU Blogs using WordPress tools made available within our CampusPress instance.
- Also pullout anything that process misses.
- Import into NUBlogs (sp?) using WordPress tools made available within their CampusPress instance.
- Hand-correct anything missing from the export, if necessary.

2B) Cornell-based CATON site (CU Blogs)
See also
- See above info in their group web site since much applies to this blog, too.
Next step
- Ryan: To follow up with Will. Perhaps get access to the GoDaddy web site to do the necessary work to close out the non-Cornell domain name ticket.
...
- Finish getting non-CU-based domain name configured correctly.
- ChemIT ticket #: INC000001551512
- CIT ticket #: INC000001566397 2DPolymer.net => blogs/caton
- Group will want to inform Northwestern of this need, so they are prepared for when it moves.
Rework workflow, including no longer relying on use of Ryan's Cornell-contracted Box.com account.
(3) Ordering new technology through Northwestern
Ryan and Will to work with Northwestern to purchase new IT equipment. Some items include:
- Designated group members will obtain Obtain specifications from instrument vendors, for computer purchases.
- ChemIT available to consult, especially if getting odd responses from vendors.
- Group will spec Spec printers to buy.
