No Nov/Dec meetings. See you in January!-- resending email

Hi all,
Since there was a discussion this am about whether there was a
micronet meeting, I'll resend the email below.

There has been a change of schedule. Shel Waggener will be speaking
on January 15 on the IT Bank "How the campus is investing in
Technology and Technology Staff" and hold Q&A.

I am firming up the topics for a Dell presentation for
February. Specifically I would like to address the topic of Dell
Image Direct and, if time, see if there is interest or time to
discuss in server virtualization and storage.

In March I am planning on having speakers from TAM and from UCB's
data center speak on moving servers to the data center, what is
involved, experiences with the data center.

As always, if you are interested in any topics, please let me
know. If you would like to do a presentation, please let me know.

Claudia

>Hi all,

>meetings might be a good idea.

>The following are a few possible topics for the future. Please let
>me know if you are interested.

> -Purchasing computers and software for UC departments (and
> UC employees): how do you decide what to purchase, what is

>Very late summary of the October meeting:
>We invited 5 staff working in IT on the Berkeley campus to discuss
>their experiences and offer their perspectives on how to develop an
>IT career on campus. The following very generously took the time
>to tell us about the jobs they have had here on the Berkeley campus.
>

>
>What emerged as important was finding a job or jobs where you can
>develop your skills and knowledge. Getting a mentor, taking part in
>informal groups like Micronet and Webnet, and doing your own career
>planning were also mentioned. There are few resources for training
>for staff at the university. Programs like the Career Development
>Opportunity Program (CDOP) and tuition remission are no longer
>available, though most staff would like to see a return of these.
>
>Mark Spitzer, the account executive for Dell at UC Berkeley, offered
>to bring in speakers for future meetings or to organize short
