Hi FSCKers, This summer among the projects that I've been working on, there is a small and exciting project (to me :) that involves a system to track and report the availability of computers across campus, so we can see which computers are having problems and when, where and which programs are being used. This is meaningful for everyone, especially ITS to see if we need to optimize anything an if so, in which aspects can we optimize to minimize the resource usage yet deliver better experiences to all Truman students. For example, are all the computers working fine? Do we need licenses for the program X on all computers?
After some hit-and-miss, the program is quite in an 'usable' shape. It can show a live map (yes it is a live map) of all the computers in a site: It now can tell you many interesting things that you might not know. http://trulabs.truman.edu/geniemon/generate-report.php People over ITS, especially Amy, Donna and Jim who have given me an invaluable chance not just to work on it, but to publish the source code of the program under a free software license. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
