Who in FSX is working on this?
Currently Oliver, Wilson, and Laxmi are working on this, mainly to try to find out if/how Virebo might have broader impact on something like student printing at MIT. It's a terrific web app.
Sponsors of original Virebo project
- Professor Richard Locke, Deputy Dean & Prof. of Entrepreneurship, Sloan School of Management
- Diane Shea, Director of Procurement
IS&T Partners
- Theresa Regan
- Mark Silis
Goal for current Virebo app
The current goal for Virebo is to satisfy the information-gathering needs of MIT's purchasing-reform committee. (The committee, particularly Professor Richard Locke at Sloan and Ms. Diane Shea, director of procurement, suggested most of its principal features; I'm currently talking with Theresa Regan and Mark Silis of IS&T to finalize MIT's contract for the service.)
Possible opportunities for broader impact
- Improving student printing at MIT
- Use metrics to encourage behavioral changes and cultural changes in our "public" printing environment
- More efficiently manage public student printers
- Add visibility to Virebo through cross-promoting it on other printing web sites (quickprint.mit.edu, cups.mit.edu)
