- Image Usage/Acquisitions
- Tom recommended Christopher Harting's photographs, who has published a number of works involving the MIT campus. Christopher has a collection of unpublished photographs taken at Stata and the sports center.
- Both Wing and Kath T-L feel Christopher's work is appropriate, and have already started to identify photos that could work with the NEO site.
- Julienne expressed the concern that the photographs could end up being too Stata-centric, that it would be good to have a larger variety of locations. Tom mentioned that many of the photographs are close-ups, and the building wasn't identifiable.
- Tom will post a link to Christopher Harting's site for our review.
- Wing would like approval and comments by Friday, 5/16/08.
- IS&T Update
- IS&T is introducing lots of changes and improvements to how MIT handles security
- There will be a significant change to the new employee provisioning process when the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) database goes live, most likely well after the NEO release date.
- Until then, the process for acquiring a MIT Certificate will not change.
- While IS&T plans to improve the IS&T site for acquiring an MIT Certificate, it is unclear whether this will be completed in time for the NEO release.
- The NEO team will need to be prepared to develop a web page which simplifies this process.
- Paul Hill is the IS&T contact for vetting our MIT Certificate related content.
- Multi-Media Approach
- We have decided to use a third party software solution for producing our Multi-media overview presentations, as it best meets our needs.
- The final choice will be between Articulate, PointeCast, or a couple of more products to be researched. All convert PowerPoint slides to Flash.
- Kathleen Flynn raised the issue of updating the overviews; Ken stated that with the software solutions being considered, individual slides can be changed and published to the web.
- We will decide on the product by next week.
